Our review

The Fiskars SoftGrip Scissors are a staple for crafters, hobbyists, and everyday household cutting tasks. Designed with precision-ground stainless steel blades, they deliver clean, smooth cuts through paper, fabric, cardstock, and other common craft materials without snagging or fraying edges. The blades stay sharp through repeated use, making these scissors a reliable choice for scrapbooking, card-making, sewing prep, and general art projects. What truly sets these scissors apart is the ergonomic SoftGrip handle. Made from a comfortable, non-slip material, the handles reduce hand fatigue during long crafting sessions and provide a secure grip even with slightly damp or messy hands. The spring-action design common to Fiskars models makes repetitive cutting less tiring, which is especially helpful for teachers, quilters, and crafters working on bulk projects. Built with the brand's signature orange handle accents, these scissors are easy to spot in a crowded craft drawer. They're lightweight yet durable, striking a balance between everyday usability and long-term reliability. Whether you're a beginner assembling a first craft kit or a seasoned artist needing a dependable pair of scissors, the Fiskars SoftGrip line delivers consistent, comfortable performance for a wide range of creative tasks.

Perfect for scrapbooking

These scissors cut through cardstock so smoothly. My hand doesn't get tired even after hours of cutting shapes for my scrapbook pages.

Great everyday craft scissors

Solid quality and comfortable grip. I only wish they held their edge a bit longer when cutting thicker cardboard.

PPriya S.2023-11-05★★★★★

Comfortable and precise

I use these for fabric trimming and paper crafts. The grip is soft and doesn't dig into my palm like cheaper scissors do.

Reliable classroom tool

I bought a few pairs for my art class. They're sturdy, easy for students to use, and the colorful handles help kids find them quickly.
