FAQs
Can I use these scissors to cut paper?
It is not recommended. Using these precision scissors on paper will dull the stainless steel blades quickly, making them less effective for fabric.
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
The handles are designed symmetrically, so they are generally comfortable for both right-handed and left-handed users.
How do I sharpen the blades?
Due to their specialized size and precision grind, it is best to have them professionally sharpened rather than attempting to sharpen them at home.
What is the total length of the scissors?
These scissors measure exactly 9cm in total length.
Can these be used for heavy canvas or denim?
No, these are designed for delicate embroidery and thread trimming; heavy fabrics will likely cause damage to the blade alignment.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil to the pivot point and work the blades back and forth to lubricate.
Scissors are not cutting cleanly at the tips
Ensure no lint or thread debris is trapped between the blades; clean with a soft brush or dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors require no assembly; simply remove them from their sustainable packaging and they are ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the stainless steel blades, avoid using them on paper, cardboard, or adhesive materials, which can dull the edge quickly. Store your scissors in a dry environment and keep them away from moisture to prevent any potential oxidation. It is recommended to occasionally wipe the blades with a dry cloth to remove any lint or fabric debris that may accumulate during long sessions. For long-term storage, keep them in a protective pouch to prevent the tips from being blunted by contact with other tools.
