FAQs

What are the primary materials used in these scissors?

The scissors are made from high-quality stainless steel for both the blades and handles, with a brass-plated finish on the handles.

Are these scissors suitable for professional hairdressing?

While they offer precise cutting, they are primarily designed for crafting, household tasks, and general use. For professional hairdressing, specialized shears are recommended.

How should I clean the brass finish?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn spots, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. A mild brass polish can be used for significant tarnishing, followed by thorough drying.

Is the elephant design functional or purely decorative?

The elephant design is integrated into the handle structure, offering both a unique aesthetic and ergonomic support for cutting.

What does 'plastic-free' packaging mean for this product?

It means that neither the scissors themselves nor the materials used to package and ship them contain any plastic components.

Can these scissors cut through thick cardboard?

They can handle moderate thickness cardboard for general household tasks, but for very thick or dense cardboard, more heavy-duty industrial shears might be necessary.

What is the approximate weight of the scissors?

The scissors weigh approximately 0.022 pounds (or about 10 grams), making them feel substantial yet manageable.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Apply a small amount of light oil (like sewing machine oil) to the pivot screw. Open and close the scissors several times to work the oil in, then wipe away any excess.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blades are free of debris. If they appear dull, they may need professional sharpening. Check that the pivot screw is appropriately tightened – too loose can cause misalignment, too tight can restrict movement.

Brass finish appears tarnished or discolored

Gently polish the brass finish with a soft cloth and a mild brass polish. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the scissors are thoroughly dried after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These scissors require no assembly. They are ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of materials including paper, cardstock, light fabric, and general household items. Not recommended for heavy-duty industrial cutting or extremely tough materials.

Care: To maintain the beauty and functionality of your scissors:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blades and handles clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the brass finish.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent rusting or tarnishing. Consider using a protective sheath or keeping them in a dedicated tool holder.
  3. Maintenance: For optimal cutting performance, occasionally apply a drop of sewing machine oil or mineral oil to the pivot point.
