It's no wonder these are sold out. They are fantastic! Scissors are usually a pain in the neck to carry along, whether you use a pencil case or prefer to carry writing supplies in a pocket of your bag. But for a lot of jobs, it's handy to have them, so you had to kind of suck it up.

These are a great solution, because they just stay out of the way until and unless you need them. Specifically, they eliminate the three greatest sources of irritation that you get if you try to take along some scissors: the awkward shape; the blades that keep nicking and scratching everything (especially since they ALWAYS fall open); and the finger loops, which keep getting in the way when you put stuff back in a pencil case. Sure, maybe they aren't the best if you need to be cutting miles of paper (although they're doing pretty good so far!), and they are clearly not designed for super thick card or even fabric, but then that's true for most pairs of scissors you see out there - those are considered specialized jobs, for which you need other types of tools. But for general paper jobs they can't be beat.

I love these scissors! They're by far more convenient and travel-friendly than any normal pair of scissors out there. I showed these to relatives while I was on vacation, and all of them were in awe, asking where I got them. They're just so handy to have around, throw in a bag, whatever!

As an added bonus: since they look like a pen, airlines don't hassle you if you forget they're in your purse or carry-on. Not that I endorse bringing them purposefully to "test" the airline security workers, but those of you out there who have had nail clippers/trimmers/small scissors confiscated & thrown away because you forgot you had them... well, you know what I'm talking about.

Compact and portable, no more bulkiness! You can carry this in your pocket and have it double as a self defense weapon

PROS:
- Not an awkward shape, fits into pencil cases nicely.
- Attractive design and colour.
- Safer, cap on end of blades.

CONS:
- Pricey.
- Not made for heavy cutting.
- Works well with 'lighter' cutting.
- Clean, sharp cut on paper.
- Loops feel like they may come undone if they're held strongly.

OVER ALL:
- A good product if used for occasionally trimming or cutting hand outs to size etc.
- Feel awkward to use at first but eventually becomes easier - maybe try not to hold the handles roughly.

I love the siccors. Expensive but worth the cost. Super convenient and I don't run the rist of damaging my leather pencil case anymore.

These are very good scissors that cut VERY well. At first it seemed as though getting used to the spaghetti strap handles would be impossible, however after using it a while you no longer notice it, and they feel like normal scissors in the hand. The only downfall to these scissors is that the blades are NOT long enough!!!

However, it clips perfectly into the pen compartment of my messenger book bag, so I will never have to worry about losing it, unlike my other pair of scissors which I lost twice.

overall a good investment

Very very nice. I never used to carry around scissors with me because they were too bulky to fit in my pencil case. These however are scarcely bigger than a normal pen, so fit perfectly in my pencil case. Very convenient, cut well, highly recommend!

These scissors have an nice weight and cut very well. The adjustable bands take some getting used to but once you get your finger positioning down, the scissors feel very good in the hand.

Question: Has anyone had any experience traveling with these scissors at airport TSA security?

to answer the previous reciew, i found this exact pair of scissors at kinokiniya in japan town for about $11.

Very high quality.

A little , okay ALOT expensive....

anyone have a idea where to buy these, less expensive?

I apologize in advance for writing this here.

In response to the review posted before me. I think it is ignorant rating the quality of an item based on speculation. Even worse is to give the product a low rating (3 stars). If you want to strike a conversation about a product or to state passive aggressive comments do so on your own blog where people who care about your opinion can visit and participate in the discussion.

Manufacturers as well as the retailer rely on honest evaluations of products to make sales. I personally have a hard time buying something with less than 4 stars from any web site when there is only a few reviews. Fortunately I take the time to read most reviews and can determine if the rating is some what accurate or nonsense. Not everyone is that diligent. Please show some respect for peoples lively hood and other peoples valuable time and refrain from discrediting their products from pure speculation. I am sure they will appreciate it and so will millions of consumers browsing the internet on a daily basis.

If you are looking for surgical scissors, you should buy them. if you are looking for something safe and easy to carry around, decent quality cutting edge, and just plain good design for the purpose, buy these scissors. Yes, they are expensive, but not exorbitant and they are FUN.

Just got these today and I ended up cutting up a bunch of junk mail that came at the same time. These are ridiculously cool. So far they seem to cut very well. They also seem very sturdy and well put together. I look forward to putting them to use. One of my coworkers and I have a little ongoing contest on who can put together the coolest pencil case set (yes, we are actually that nerdy) and these are going to put me in the lead.

I've actually been looking for something like this for a long long time. Although it doesn't have a good fit in my hand with the flexible handles (Might take time to get used to as I have very skinny hands anyway), the point is _portability_. It does it's job and cuts VERY WELL. It's the perfect tool for people like me who bring their stationary with them everywhere ;)

I brought these along with me in my luggage at the airport and they had to search my luggage because they saw something suspicious (these scissors) through the x-ray scan...

Awesome tool. I was using it for a good couple months before it started to get dull and loose. I used it for everything from cutting plastic packages to clipping magazines, to pattern drafting with oak board. They could be better built, (they would be awesome in steel or titanium with a full tang!), but I suppose they do the job.
I even managed to sneak it past the TSA, unintentionally, of course, but the airport security in India noticed them and confiscated them.

OMG...how innovative are these scissors? Thrilled about them. When folded up, they are virtually the same size as a pen. I carry a mini pencil/pen case in my purse and these fit in it perfectly so now I will always have a pair of scissors with me. Who hasn't run into a moment when you have needed a pair of scissors and weren't at home or your office? Regular scissors just aren't practical to carry around. They cut well too! Recommend!

Very interesting scissors, a good piece for conversation starters, but, the finger holes are prone to tear easy and it is not suitable for cutting a lot of paper. I have this scissors in my pen bag all the time due to its form factor.

Very well designed. Impressed with the "full tang" blades. I would like to see more products by whoever designed these.

I've been able to use a colleague's unit; it's very functional /useful. Waiting for restock to purchase! Thanks.

These are awesome!
