Scissors aren't just scissors

There are many different kinds of scissors. Everything from safety scissors that aren't very sharp to large, strong adult scissors and everything in between. You might think that a pair of scissors is just a pair of scissors, but in reality, a pair of scissors is just as much a tool as a screwdriver or a saw. Regular kitchen scissors are fine if you just need to cut something. But if you’re going to do some arts or make something creative, or have a specific purpose, a regular pair of scissors just isn't enough. Then you need to get some special scissors.

And fortunately, you’ve ended up here at Creativ Company. Because we have a large selection of different special scissors, each of which are excellent for their particular purposes.

Special scissors for specialised uses

One of occasions where special scissors are particularly useful is when scissors can help people to cut without hurting their hands. Or if you don't have as much strength in your hands. Then it is necessary to use special scissors that take this into account and allow you to cut well despite of the challenges in your hands.

Several versions of special scissors are available that help make cutting easier. You can get some that look like pliers, so they don't have holes for the fingers. And you can get tweezer scissors that work a bit like tweezers. These don't have holes for the fingers either. This makes it possible to find the scissors that are the best and most comfortable for you.

If you need scissors that can do more than regular scissors, we also have multi-purpose scissors. These scissors can function as scissors, a knife, an opener and a tape knife. And they have a knife sharpener in the accompanying holster. And then there are also survival scissors.  

If you want to follow in Hans Christian Andersen's footsteps and do some paper cutting, you'll need a pair of silhouette scissors.

If you want to try the art of the famous Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, and make some beautiful paper cuttings, you'll need a pair of delicate silhouette scissors. This is a small pair of scissors with fine and delicate pointed ends, which allow you to reach even the innermost corners.

A pair of silhouette scissors gives you the option of cutting closely when cutting out small and elegant objects. For example , Christmas elves or Easter decorations. Perhaps you're making scrapbooks and need a pair of silhouette scissors to cut out tiny labels and figures to put in your scrapbooks. This small, dainty pair of scissors is perfect for this.

They're also perfect if you're making a Danish 'snowdrop letter'. Then you'll be glad to use the small, fine silhouette scissors to help you cut out the finest letter.

If you’re struggling to get your fingers in the holes of the small silhouette scissors, don't despair. At Creativ Company, we also have silhouette scissors with large finger holes, so everyone can have a go at cutting. Even people with large fingers. 

Pattern scissors for making fun, beautiful and unusual edges

If you think that straight edges are too dull, or you'd like some elegant edges for your scrapbook, then you'll need a pair of pattern scissors. We have a large selection of pattern scissors, and you can find them  on their own and in multi-packs with several different ones.

We have pattern scissors for both children and adults, and with many different patterns on the blades. So you can find the perfect edges to suit your project. You can find wavy edges, serrated edges, irregular waves and Victorian wavy edges and many other different edges.

Pattern scissors are great for creative projects with children. The children will love the fun edges, which can add an extra touch to the lovely and cute figures that the children can cut and glue from cardboard and paper. Pattern scissors are also great for cutting EVA foam sheets, which you can also make fun figures from.

In fact, only your imagination can limit what you use pattern scissors for. If you need inspiration for your next project, have a look at our huge inspiration catalogue, where you will find countless good ideas and guides on how to make them.

Fabric scissors and pinking shears

When you use special scissors or pinking shears, it's because you have a clear purpose what you need your scissors for. For example, patterned scissors with a serrated edge can be used to cut fabric for clothes. When you cut the edge with a pair of pinking shears, it will shred less and you can therefore usually avoid having to zigzag the edges of your fabric. However, please note that not all fabrics can be cut with a pair of pinking shears. Some types of fabric just shred more than others.  

If you have scissors that you have dedicated to cutting fabric, it is a good idea to keep them only for fabric. Cutting fabrics can be extremely difficult if your scissors have got nicks or been used incorrectly. For example, nicks can arise when you accidentally cut into a pin or a paper clip. If the scissors have very serrated edges, they may even pull threads out of the fabric, which can destroy the whole piece of fabric. So take good care of your fabric scissors!

All scissors, special scissors and regular scissors should be well looked after in order to enjoy the full benefit from them. Avoid cutting metal or other hard materials with your special scissors. If you would like to cut wire with a pair of scissors, for example, select a a pair scissors that you'll dedicate as wire cutters. Then you can use these ones if you need to cut other things that are hard on the scissors. Perhaps make sure that you don't use your most expensive pairs of scissors as wire cutters. As previously mentioned, this can destroy the scissors quite a lot.
