FAQs

What materials can these scissors cut effectively?

These scissors are best suited for cutting paper, cardstock, thin fabrics, and general craft materials. They are not designed for heavy-duty cutting tasks.

How do I maintain the stainless steel blades?

Wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after each use. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust.

Is the steel handle comfortable for long periods of use?

The steel handle provides a durable and robust grip. Some users may find the all-steel construction heavier than composite materials for extended periods. It's best suited for tasks of moderate duration.

What is covered by the 5-year warranty?

The 5-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover damage from misuse or normal wear and tear.

Can these scissors be sharpened?

Yes, like most high-quality scissors, these can be sharpened. However, it is recommended to use a professional sharpening service to ensure the blades are properly maintained without damage.

Are there other sizes available in the Westcott Steel Scissor line?

Yes, Westcott offers the Steel Scissor line in various sizes, including 5.25-inch, 6-inch, 7-inch, 8.25-inch, and 10-inch variants, to suit different cutting needs.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Ensure the pivot screw is not overtightened. If it feels gritty, clean the pivot area and apply a small drop of lubricant designed for metal. Avoid excessive force.

Blades are not cutting cleanly

Check for any debris caught between the blades. If blades appear dull, they may need professional sharpening. Ensure you are using the correct scissors for the material being cut.

Rust spots appear on blades

This is rare with stainless steel but can occur in humid environments. Gently rub the rust spots with a fine-grade steel wool or a rust eraser. Clean and dry thoroughly, then store in a dry place.
