Scissors are extremely versatile tools. In addition to the standard scissors, which can be found in practically every household, there are also very special designs – e.g. for handicrafts or even for artistic design. This latter area also includes silhouette scissors like these here from folia. Let us take a closer look at them.
How is the equipment?
Silhouette scissors like these from folia are used for particularly fine and filigree cutting of paper, cardboard or similar materials. Even self-adhesive foils can be cut with them, because the blades of the scissors are provided with a non-stick coating. However, this only applies to one of the two scissors. Both have a length of 10.5 cm. They are also extremely lightweights in both cases – only nine grams are weighed in each case. As filigram scissors they have a real tip, of course. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
In the eyes of the users this silhouette scissors from folia seem to be a quite good product. This is why 80 percent of the customers commenting on them at Amazon give them five or four stars. These positive ratings are mainly focused on normal scissors – i.e. those without coating. They should be “nice and sharp” and “sufficiently small”. They also “fit well in the hand”. Furthermore, it is reported that they also cut out very small details. If it were only about this one “normal” pair of scissors, the overall picture of the evaluations would probably be even better. But there is still the second one in the bundle or set – the one with the coating. In principle, the users like this – but unfortunately the coating doesn’t last long here, but detaches itself from the blades. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the price-performance ratio?
Currently you can get this model for 5 Euro in the online shop of Amazon. Despite the weakness of the coated scissors, the price is generally rather accepted. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the conclusion?
The normal scissors of the folia set are well suited for fine work and give good results. Unfortunately the coated specimen cannot score as well. We award a total of 4 out of 5 stars based on product description and customer reviews. At Amazon we currently find 0 (not yet) customer reviews, which have an average of 0 (not yet) stars
