Tips for choosing a pair of scissors

• It sounds obvious, but before choosing very small or large scissors, consider the size of your hand! If your scissors are not the right size, they may be uncomfortable or even impossible to use.
• The majority of scissors are designed for right-handed people, which may seem unfair if you’re a leftie. We do sell several pairs of ambidextrous scissors at Paperstone though so don’t feel excluded!
• Do you need to cut very precisely, perhaps for art or crafts projects? Small scissors cut more precisely than larger ones and people with poor eyesight may find them safer than using knives or cutting blades for certain tasks. 
• Think ahead about the tasks you will perform- you may need more than one pair of scissors.
• If you want to open packaging or do a lot of cutting, it makes sense to pay more to get better quality scissors with comfort handles.
• Always buy scissors with rounded blades for children (we have school packs for groups of youngsters).
