Description of ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Thornton's Art Supply: Multi-Purpose Softgrip Arthritic 8 Inch Scissors for Arthritis, Office, and Crafts

A spring-action design opens the blades after each cut, greatly reducing the effort needed for this basic motion. High-grade, stainless-steel blades feature a specially ground edge for maximum sharpness, tested to cut all the way to the tip and essential for anyone who cuts fabric. An ergonomically sculpted handle with Softgrip provides excellent cutting control and comfort, and a bent handle design keeps materials flat for precise cuts every time. Comfortably fits in your office drawer, yet strong enough to cut through the heaviest materials, fabrics & leather. Top of the line materials and craftsmanship ensure a smooth cut every time, even through multiple layers, for years to come.

Best suited for medium to large hands.

I just got these so didn't have much time to try them out, but I felt it was important to leave a quick review/alert about an issue that caught my eye right away. So far I'm really liking them, except for one thing: they're best for people with medium to large hands. They have a spring activated opening feature and the handles open VERY wide when in use. I have small hands (with finger, finger and wrist issues due to EDS) that are too small to easily or comfortably reach both handles whenโ€ฆ

Best of this style I've ever used!

Due to the fact that I have had several operations on my arm, the use of this type of scissors is mandatory. In my years of experience with this style, these scissors are the best of them all! Love everything about all the features and especially the blue grippy sections. It helps a lot to control your haircut. The only small downside I can think of is that the clasp is a bit difficult to open. However, since it does, it's probably less likely to open or close when it shouldn't, which has beenโ€ฆ

Surprisingly good

I cut fabric for a living and have tried almost all kinds of scissors. I bought them on the spur of the moment and stocked up on my usual Fiskars and Ginghers.

They are as sharp as my high-quality Gingher scissors and just as easy to use as the Fiskars Easy Action Scissors. But what really won me over about these scissors is that they are stronger than Fiskars. I can only cut three or fourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Better Fiskar!

I sew for a living and have used a lot of scissors over the past 25 years. I use spring loaded ones because they don't hurt my thumb or tire my hand - I cut a lot! I started with Fiskars but wasn't happy with the weak spring, the tab on the clasp that didn't keep it closed and after a while the hinge came loose making it almost impossible to cut. Then I found the Thorntons. Oh my goodness! They have a strong, durable spring that has never lost strength or broken, they're strong and solid - they
