If you do not simply want to cut a piece of paper or cardboard, but rather give it a fine filigree pattern, standardised household scissors are less suitable. Then the hour of special silhouette scissors goes to sleep. There is a wide range of these scissors on the market – including this model E-30440 00 from Westcott. Let’s take a closer look at this
How is the equipment?
These silhouette scissors by Westcott are a model with curved blade. The blade itself is made of titanium. The rest of the scissors is made of steel and plastic. They are a good 10 cm long overall. Their colours are grey and yellow. This is a pair of scissors for right-handers. We award 4 out of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
Let’s take a look at the evaluation picture that customers have left at Amazon regarding these scissors. 70 percent of the users find these silhouette scissors by Westcott so good that they give it five stars. But there are still 10 percent of users who obviously don’t like it and therefore give it only one star. How do the bad ratings come about? Well, that’s obviously partly because some people use the scissors for work other than that which is specifically intended. So they complain that they don’t cut threads as well. This is not surprising, since silhouette scissors are not suitable for this either. They are supposed to cut paper and cardboard – and users who use them for this purpose write quite positively about them. But because of the titanium blade, they can also cut thin copper foils without any problems. Of course, this is a point that is of particular interest to model makers and then encourages good reviews. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the price-performance ratio?
Currently you can get this model for 4 Euro in the online shop of Amazon. The price is apparently accepted as it is – at least by the users who comment on it at Amazon. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the conclusion?
These silhouette scissors from Westcott perform the fine cutting work on cardboard and paper to the satisfaction of the users. However, due to the titanium blades, they also create thin copper foils. 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 award an average of 0 (not yet) stars.
