Tim Holtz Recoil Scissors - Titanium Coated, Double-Beveled Blades, Black (6.7 Inch)

Not cheap but worth every penny! I do a decent amount of paper crafting which involves a lot of scissor work. These scissors were such a relief on my hands as it took half of the effort away with the "spring opening". They are sharp and cut through cardstock like a breeze. They feel comfortable in my hand and don't feel heavy after extended used. I love the size so that they cut long stretches of paper. I've purchase at least ½ dozen pairs of Tonic Studios Tim Holtz scissors and even tho they are pricey I've NEVER been disappointed!

These are wonderful snips and really help with hand fatigue while crafting. I use them for papercrafting and they are very sharp right to the tip. They come with a blade guard and an extra spring.

These are some nice little fussy cutting scissors however I like my Cutter Bees better which seem to make a smoother cut. I compared three different Tim Holtz scissors because I had to do some heavy duty fussy cutting for my holiday cards this year. I started with my Cutter Bees which do an excellent job; however, the handles are so small and aren't comfortable with my arthritic hand. The 5" TH scissors are much more comfortable and the reason I was drawn to them for the big handles; they do get the job done. The 7" detail scissors are comfortable to use too but comparatively don't do as good a job as the 5" detail scissors. I also bought the small recoil scissors and I think they're my favorite but they don't do as good a job as the Cutter Bees, so I'll keep practicing with them because they're very comfortable to use. In summary, Cutter Bees are the best for fussy cutting but the handles are too small. I wish they'd make them with bigger handles. The 5" detail scissors are very good and very comfortable. To avoid the serration on the paper, turn them upside down so the serration will be on the part you're cutting out which goes for the 7" ones as well. The 7" detail scissors didn't work well for me for fussy cutting but are very comfortable. The small recoil scissors are fantastic but really not suitable for super intricate cutting, but like I said I'm going to keep practicing with them because maybe it's my technique.

I have tried dozens of other similar scissors/pruners, and these are hands down the best I have found in a spring style. They are precise, cut very well, even on materials so thin they slide between the blades of other scissors, and the quality and attention to detail are several orders of magnitude higher than anything else I've seen in this price range. The lock is solid, easy to engage, and doesn't turn on when you don't want it to The handles are comfortable, and won't easily slip even if your hands get sweaty. The blade tips line up perfectly lengthwise, and don't over/under-shoot when closed like so many in this price range do. The grinding is of a finer grain than most, and there are no rough edges. The extra spring and the blade cover are nice added touches! No holes poked in your craft/garden bags! Overall, very impressed with these!

Makes fussy cutting so much easier. Great for those with hand or wrist arthritis. Tim Holtz always great quality and useful tools well thoughtout for crafters

I make paper crafts and this is a game changer when it comes to intricate and controlled cuts! It’s sharp, easy to handle, and comes with a cover that goes over the blades to keep them safe and sharp. It’s worth every penny and I wish I started using this sooner!

First, these are very sharp, easy to use, with a few good features scissors. The person who wrote about "thumb holes" is obviously not reviewing these as there are none. What I’m distressed about is how there is no way to keep both springs with the scissors. I put in one, and the other disappeared. I hope it will show up again, but there is nowhere on the scissors to keep the spare spring. Also, it is bad for springs to stay compressed for long periods, and the only way to hang these is for the blades to be locked as tightly as they can go. I like many things about these, but the design team still has work to do.

These are the best scissors, I've ever had! Great for fussy cutting but don't let the kids near them, they are extremely sharp. Even got an extra pair as a present

Richtig gutes Produkt und abolute erleichterung für unser bastelndes Kind. Keine Schmerzen mehr im Daumen und Handgelenk. Toll.

Superfijn schaartje

Works great! Love the fact that there is an extra spring.

It cuts grate on thin material but the scissors twisted the end

An amazing pair of scissors, I would highly recommend. Bought for a rag quilt and have been really comfortable to use, very sharp and coped well with the layers of fabric
