These are amazing for small crafts. I picked these up to keep in my pocket as an everyday carry to cut boxes and also for small crafts in my journaling when I don't want or have a full pair of scissors such as if I'm cozy in bed or if I'm on the go. For my use cases, this is perfect! The build quality is fine but can be improved substantially very easily. I wish the company would implement this small change and I think all of the negative reviews would instantly vanish. Flaw AND Solution: The only flaw/complaint that I have is that the scissors are a bit flimsy. There is a lot of play side-to-side with the blades which makes the whole thing feel inaccurate and cheap. It's also sometimes awkward to cut because there is no lock when you're in scissors mode and pressing down often makes the scissors want to go back into the blade mode. Solution: If you were to place a small bit of material on the "right" side of the blades sandwiched between the plastic and the flat rectangle blade. This simple addition removes both of those issues. It removes the play side-to-side and also creates just a small bit of resistance that makes it harder to accidentally pull back into the blade mode. Overall, I would recommend these still and would be 5 stars if the company made this small change.

I purchased this to use at work. I have to open boxes and occasionally cut twine and ribbon. It works great and the small size allows it to easily slips into my pocket. Very comfortable to use and durable.

I really liked the idea of a box cutter with scissors. It’s manufactured in Japan, a country known for innovative stationary supplies of high quality. This product isn’t up to par with others. It does cut tape and it will open up to become a scissors but they are flimsy. They feel loose and have more side to side movement than I would expect. The metal is very lightweight. Its sharpness is marginal and I’m not convinced it’s durable enough for long term daily use. For the price I expected better.

Use it everyday for my mail and packages. The knife is sharp and works very well. The scissors are okay, kinda doesn't cut as well sometimes and are a little small, but they do the job well enough. Recommend for EDC or just having by the door as your designated mail/package opener

I bought this thinking this would be a pretty cool EDC idea. The scissors leave much to be desired. They don't really cut cardboard very well or anything very well. It can't cut paracord either. Just overall, the scissors on these aren't at the level of Fiskars, Victorinox, etc. I wasn't expecting it to be superb but the scissors on this are lacking.

These scissors are compact, safe, and highly functional with their ingenious design. They are beautifully and functionally constructed and easy to use. Unfortunately, my wife immediately appropriated them and put them in her purse so I'm buying another.
