If you're tired of cheap, flimsy scissors that can't cut anything, you have to try these. These are ALLEX office scissors, and they're seriously well-made. They're crafted entirely in Seki, Japan – a place famous for its blades. The blades are made from Japanese stainless steel and are hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen, so they're incredibly sharp and precise right out of the package. The overall length is 7.8 inches, making them a great all-purpose size for the desk or craft room. They even won Japan's GOOD DESIGN AWARD for their sleek, functional design. The handles have soft, non-slip elastomer resin rings that are super comfortable to use, even for longer cutting tasks. They feel substantial (blade thickness is 3.0mm) and are just a pleasure to use. A fantastic tool for anyone who appreciates quality.
