Cuts+More: Fiskars has new multi-scissors
on: November 16, 2010, 06:23:01 AM
Fiskars has a new multitool/scissors that looks like it would be handy.



I've grown fond of this old thing, and it looks like Fiskars has something a bit similar now. Scissors just end up getting used quite a bit in our household. I kinda like the sheath.

I suspect several people will get cut by the twine cutter and the box opener/tape cutter thing.
Otherwise it looks really cool!

It reminds me of a more versitile CRKT Crossover Shears.  Hopefully of good quality. *nods*

I never thought the scissor/knife combo would work well, consider they work on entirely different principles.

And why would you need a twine cutter, when you have, oh I dunno, A PAIR OF SCISSORS IN YOUR HAND!

They look pretty cool.  Definitely appeal to the geek in me, wonder if they're any good in practice.

These look pretty cool. Wonder how much Gerber was involved in the design, seeing as Gerber is a division of Fiskars. The first thing I thought was it looked like something Gerber would do. Makes me wonder if Gerber didn't actually design it, but somebody decided to make is a Fiskars product instead. Hell, the look of the knife portion just screams "Gerber" to me for some reason.

Must have. Kill. Kill.

Now, that's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted sturdy, all around, scissors for the kitchen, to open packages, cut leafs of silantro, salsa... All scissors I've found are or too simple -- just straight blades -- or too bloated -- like the kershaw above and others on the same style.

This looks like the perfect match, although also a little bloated for me, but can live with that.

I had once a scissor-knife "thing". Cost me 10eur. 10eur straight to the garbage. It was neither a good scissor neither a good knife.

I would rather like this scissor would not have the knife feature, but I guess/hope it won't hurt.
The separation mechanism seems equal to this poultry shears I have:
