FAQs

What makes the 'Titanium Super' coating beneficial?

The titanium nitride coating is extremely hard and non-porous. It provides excellent resistance to corrosion and, more importantly, prevents sticky materials like tape and glue from adhering to the blades, ensuring smoother cuts and easier cleanup.

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?

These scissors have a standard right-handed grip. While some left-handed individuals can adapt, they are not specifically designed for ambidextrous use. The ergonomic handles are shaped for right-handed comfort.

What materials can these scissors cut effectively?

They are excellent for paper, cardstock, fabric, tape, and light adhesives. They are not designed for cutting through thick plastics, metal, or upholstery.

How does the curved blade help?

The curved blade allows you to lift the material slightly while cutting, enabling more precise cuts close to a surface or along intricate lines without accidentally cutting the material underneath. It's ideal for detailed work.

What is the warranty period for these scissors?

Westcott provides a 25-year warranty on these scissors, reflecting their commitment to quality and durability.

Can I wash these scissors in the dishwasher?

It is not recommended to put these scissors in a dishwasher. The harsh detergents and high heat can damage the Soft Grip handles and potentially affect the blade coating and pivot. Hand washing and thorough drying are best.

How should I store my scissors to maintain their quality?

Store them in a clean, dry place. Keeping them in a protective sheath or their original packaging can prevent the blades from being nicked or scratched and protect the coating.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Wipe the pivot area and blades with a soft cloth. If residue is present, use a mild cleaning solution and then dry thoroughly. A tiny drop of lubricant (e.g., sewing machine oil) applied to the pivot point might help, but ensure it doesn't contaminate the blades.

Cutting is not clean, or blades are sticking

Ensure the blades are clean and free of any adhesive residue. The titanium nitride coating should prevent this, but thorough cleaning may be needed. Check if the pivot screw is too tight, causing excessive friction.

Blades appear dull or are not cutting effectively

While the titanium coating enhances durability, blades can eventually dull with extensive use. Consider professional sharpening or using a quality scissor sharpening tool. Ensure you are not cutting materials harder than intended for these scissors.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable, ergonomic grip reduces hand strain.
  • Durable stainless steel blades ensure long-lasting sharpness.
  • Precise cutting due to the curved blade design.
  • Backed by a substantial 25-year warranty.

Cons

  • The 10 cm curved blade may be too small for general-purpose cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These scissors are ready for immediate use upon purchase. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Suitable for cutting a variety of materials including paper, cardstock, fabric, tape, glue, and other common craft or office supplies. Not intended for heavy-duty materials like thick plastic or metal.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn residue like dried glue, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Ensure blades are dried thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
  2. Storage: Store the scissors in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Keep them in their original packaging or a protective sheath if available.
  3. Sharpening: The stainless steel blades are designed for longevity. If sharpening becomes necessary, use a professional scissor sharpener or a ceramic rod. Avoid using generic blade sharpeners not designed for high-quality scissor blades.
  4. Avoid: Do not submerge the scissors in water for extended periods. Avoid cutting materials that are too hard or thick for the blades, as this can cause damage.
