Slice Large Ceramic Safety, Heavy Duty Scissors Lasting 11x Longer Than Metal, Office Supplies, 1 Pack

These are well-made, feel good in the hand, and the design has many useful features; it's been thought out well. There are cutting jobs at which it's going to excel, and those that it's not going to do at all. For example, it'll cut thread, string, paper, even light cardboard, with ease, but something like velcro, it won't cut at all. For my purpose, which is light-duty cutting of things on an electronics workbench, it's a nice solution.

Pretty amazing ceramic scissors - these feel like lightweight plastic, but don't be fooled. These are serious tools and I have them in the kitchen, my garage toolbox, and in my office. Comfortable and precise, these are just very useful implements.

I was looking for scissors that wouldn't rust when I put them in my pool bin with the chemicals. All other scissors turn into a mess, very quickly when exposed to the chemicals (as you would expect). Not these! Worth it to me, for my specific use case. For others, they are definitely a smooth and sharp pair of scissors, but I'll let you be the judge of whether they are worth the price for you or not :)

There are some things that just slip right out of them without being cut. Anything it can cut though, it handles very well.

These scissors by Slice are perfect for cutting paper, cardboard, vinyl for Cricut projects, sublimation paper. They are extremely safe to touch as they are ceramic. They are also lightweight and comfortable to hold.

Unlike the large pair of ceramic bladed Slice scissors that I also own, these arrived extremely loose jointed and while hand manipulation can make it cut at the back of the blade, it just bends the paper without manipulation. There is a +1mm gap at the pivot point, way larger than on the large pair which snicks in contact the entire length of the blade. Strangely, the tips snick easily through paper.

This is my first pair of ceramic scissors and I have to say I'm very impressed. If they're all like this I'll never buy anything else ever again. These are very precision and feel very comfortable in my hand. While they won't cut your hand they cut paper like a scalpel. Very precise.

Injured self due to excessive application of force, using dull X-Acto knife on home project. Led me to purchase an abundance of “slice” safety products from scissors to retractable and locking ceramic blade, knives and scissors On the whole… not impressed. Specific to this product it is brand new compared to a pair of Wescott scissors that are probably 15 or more years old that have been used to cut so many things, and Are not nearly razor sharp themselves. They have been used to cut fabric, paper, plastic, and the list goes on. The brand new slice scissors have a bolt at the pivot just like the Westcott. The smaller slice scissors seem to have some spring mechanism allowing flex at the pivot instead of a rigid bolt joint that don’t hold the blades in contact with one another under many use cases like traditional scissors This larger slice style scissor seemed like it would be more robust and more like traditional metal scissors. Unfortunately, as with a pair of inexpensive scissors, just increasing the layers of extremely thin plastic folded over from a clear package of toilet paper to more than a few layers thick and slice scissors blades separate like a pair of damaged or low quality scissors or metal shears do when misused or abused. The bolt should hold the blades in contact for the use case in example video provided here. For brand new scissors, they should cut substantially better when striving to go through just a series of folded over layers of clear plastic that is thinner than paper I will do another review for their X-Acto knife product with a comparison with zoomed in pictures, but I would suggest the reason the blades stay sharper 10 or 11 times longer is because they start more dull to begin with. It’s probable that the comparison the company is making is between a razor blade of metal that can become dull or lose its sharpness overtime compared to a ceramic blade that starts less sharp to begin with …. means it can maintain its level of reduce sharpness for an extended time. If you were to start a metal blade with a blade angle that was reduced or blunted to the level of sharpness a slice blade starts at ,It would probably remain at that level of red reduced sharpness for a substantial amount of time as well. The marketing may be comparing two different initial blade angles, or levels of sharpness unfairly. Similarly, if you increase the sharpness of a slice blade to match that of the starting point of most metal blades, whether they be scissor or X-Acto, knife or box cutter, it would probably chip immediately due to the brittleness of ceramic at that level of sharpness, so the comparison is probably comparing apples to oranges, but most people don’t even consider that. Clever, marketing, without perfect clarity in explanation could lead to assumption by consumers without a clear point of reference to what’s being compared. But most specifically to this, and two other pair of scissors, I bought that were manufactured by slice in the last 30 days – 2024 I would say, I suppose, maybe the safety relates to failing to function in some manner, such as the blade separating as some kind of protective measure? But they really don’t robustly cut very many things for their “girth” Brand new out of the container compared to substantially used metal scissors. Definitely expected the larger form factor of the scissors to be substantially more robust than the smaller ones the fact the blades separate like a pair of inexpensive or beat up scissors or metal shears that have been abused with very little material thickness thrust upon them, Seems like a poor design for regular use case. Not sure what the safety advantages they offer other than they start with less sharpness. I’ve never hurt myself with a pair of scissors anyway, so these have been returned, good luck to other prospective buyers. Maybe they’re meant for children, but they do kind of bolster or boast commercial use at major corporations. By the way, at least in my experience working in an automotive environment with test labs and machine shops, injuries can often occur (also working at home) from using a product that is insufficiently sharp requiring more force to get the job done resulting in an injury, due to an exertion of pressure that result in a slip and slice injury. So personally other than dropping something on a foot or hand, I would think a sharper blade with careful use could be advantageous compared to a blade that is less sharp exerting greater force than should be necessary, losing control and causing a different sort of injury anyway. But I suppose it’s subject to the experience level of any person using any sharp object whether they understand how much force to apply and when to switch a blade or sharpen it The video kind of speaks for itself. Apparently many users are happy, so dealers choice.
