Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
While the handle is ergonomic, it is primarily designed for right-handed use, though its simple shape may be usable for some left-handed children.
Do they cut through thick cardboard well?
These scissors are optimized for standard colored paper and thin cardboard. For thick cardboard, we recommend using scissors without safety mechanisms intended for older children.
What is the purpose of the locking system?
It allows the blades to be fixed in a closed position to prevent accidental cuts while being carried in a backpack or stored at home.
