"I know I'm saying a lot about a pair of scissors I hadn't even tried yet, but I have bought one pair of scissors after another trying to find a pair that will stay sharp in the long run. But with the presentation of these scissors combined with the feel & the weight I'm not even concerned about them staying sharp in the long run."
"I received the Sewing Scissors and I am very pleased."
"These scissors are a precision tool.The assembly is top notch with no slack in the cut."
"What a great pair of scissors."
"Very Heavy Duty Scissors, the kind my Mom had when I was growing up, good quality and sharp not the new cheap plastic kind that does not stay sharp and you have to replace all the time."
"These are great scissor!"
"Why manufacturers use this material to enclose everything from toothbrush heads to electronics, I haven't a clue, but I finally found scissors that are stronger than the plastic."
"Quality scissors at a very good price."

Reviews
"I’ve owned this brand before growing up and they always stayed relatively sharp and rarely ever broke."
"I, unfortunately, used their predecessor to cut wire, pry things out of spaces, succumbing to things no scissor should have to endure."
"I need scissors in every room to save time doing stuff."
"I like that they come as a set (or 2 to a package) because there are several places in the house where they are useful and can always be in reach, like my Study and the kitchen counter, which my husband thinks is his Study!"
"Well, it's been three months and they work just fine, but I discovered the other day that the plastic covering the handle behind the hinge on the pair in the kitchen draw is broken. Updated, 3/12/17: My wife tried to trim some threads on the edge of an old dish towel this morning and the second pair of scissors broke into two pieces when the plastic holding the pivot screw snapped."
"Scissors broke in two pieces because the center pivot is plastic instead of metal."
"If you are a left-handed person you know how hard it is to find good comfortable left-handed pair of scissors that work properly. It was a simple plastic package, and without offering any resistance one of the blades simply came of, broken in two pieces."
"I was thrilled at first but soon realized the reason after receiving the product - it has been turned into a cheap product, much different from the original."

Scotch Precision Ultra Edge Titanium Scissors, 8 Inch, 3-Pack (1458-3AMZ)
Size: 3-Pack |. Style: Ultra Edge. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
"I will use one for fabrics (I do a lot of fiber arts and this is my primary use for the scissors), one for paper projects (paper dulls scissors faster than fabric), and one for cutting shipping tape (the glue from the tape sticks to the blades so eventually they stop cutting well). The scissor blades are made out of titanium and look black (rather than silver like stainless steel scissors). In the third photo I show Scotch scissors next to similar-sized Fons and Porter scissors and Fiscars scissors. Overall, the scissors over-exceeded my expectations given that I payed significantly more for other scissors which don't perform any better than the scissors in this set."
"The reason why I bought these is because the medication I was on made my hair fall out somewhat and I ordered a special wig that I need to apply within the tape is extremely sticky and this thing will stay on permanently that's how sticky this glue tape is and these scissors are amazing I can cut the tape don't have to worry about the residue on the scissors and it's an amazing thing. And between these scissors and my wig and the tape I can go out in public and people think my hair is real because the wig was made with my real hair it was my actual hair taken and then made into this real hair wig so yeah. Plus I suffer from bipolar agoraphobia so I don't go out much anyway and my looks or something I'm afraid of cuz I also suffer from the disease called body dysmorphism so these scissors really helped out a lot to cut the strips I need so I can apply my wig when I need to."
"Excellent scissors that are ergonomic and easy blade action that makes cutting quite easy."
"They are so sharp you can glide cut the paper!"
"Notes/Final Thoughts: These scissors are quite strong and the molded grip makes use quite easy; highly reccommended if you have scissors for various reasons - you can color code your use!"
"Excellent scissors!"
"I found a similar set with blister packaging at Costco, but I prefer the easy to open box that this came in."
"These are good, but I actually expected something a little cleaner (I don't know how to describe it)."

92 Bright White 20 Pound Standard Weight 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size Paper.
Reviews
"The paper feeds thru Laser Printers as well as Inject printers, either standing vertical feed or laying flat feed printers."
"I have always liked the 5-ream pack-see GP Copy & Print Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 20 Lb, 5 Reams/Carton (2500 Sheets). I am extremely satisfied with this paper, the size of the box, the convenience, the packing (if you buy more than one box), basically everything! And, in all this time I have not had a "beat-up" box of paper delivered. Update: 8/27/2014 -- I have tried other deals on the 10-Ream Cartons GP Spectrum Premium Multi Use Paper, 8.5 x 11 Inches Letter Size, 92 Bright White, 10 Reams/Carton (5000 Sheets) that occasionally appear, but each time the office staff has asked that we go back to using this economical, very convenient and easy to handle 3-Ream Pack. Update: 2/18/2015 -- I tried GP Spectrum® 96 Multipurpose Paper at a good price."
"However, think hard about getting 24-pound paper as opposed to the more normal and cheaper 20-pound paper."
"I have purchased this paper twice; the first shipment was fully intact."
"It’s paper."
"This is one of the best copy paper for my needs."
"Well, the paper is good."
"This brand is okay to use."

Reviews
"Unlike the pointed tip that genuine X-Acto blades have (top blade in photo), these blades have a rounded tip (bottom blade in photo)."
"With foam board they do not dull any faster than name brand blades (not much experience with other applications)."
"I just love these - and because they are so cheap, I can swap my blade out much more often which only makes these seem even sharper."
"Being wrapped in paper and then stuck in a cheap plastic blister pack makes getting out a new blade a cautious process."
"I dug an old Xacto knife from when I was a kid for a project and quickly learned a dull blade creates a lot of problems."
"Best price for the amount of blades."
"I cut a lot of foam core, paper, and gator board and these blades just keep right on cutting."
"Great price for blades."

Best Paper Roll Cutters

Swingline Paper Trimmer / Cutter, Guillotine, 12" Cut Length, 10 Sheet Capacity, ClassicCut Lite (9312)
Safety features include protective guard rail and blade latch hook. Durable plastic construction makes paper trimmer lightweight and easily portable; alignment grid and dual scale ruler for precise measuring.
Reviews
"As public school teachers, we LOVE having a paper cutter at home."
"As you bring the blade down, toward the end, it doesn’t cut straight."
"I prefer the longer paper cutter since I tend to cut a lot of longer laminate with it."
"This cutter is very precise and does a great job."
"I'm a little surprised that mine didn't come with a green handle and to be honest, I didn't notice it until I bought a second one."
"For ultra thick letter press paper I like it the most, because the sharp blade works better than the chomping blade I used to have."
"You can cut maybe 5 sheets of 20# or 24# paper with ease."
"Cons: The biggest, and the reason for my low rating, is that the handle/blade/grid are not properly aligned. Also, the latch that is supposed to hold the handle down rarely secures it for more than a few minutes. Finally, you must hold the paper down close to the guard bar or you'll get slippage toward an incorrect cut. It's sad because this one still cuts but the hassle of never having even pages without a few extra steps is more than I want to deal with right now."

Reviews
"For being so small, I was amazed how well it keeps the blade locked down (others I've used have easily unlocked and the blade has started to flop around while this one does not!). Even unlocking it takes a little work, which lets me know it won't easily open if a child is using it."
"The handle will not stay in the upright position when you lift it, and try to position your paper...the handle drops every time about an inch, making it necessary for me to hold the handle up with my body, so I can slide the paper under the blade, and. 3. Only one thing I like-the blade actually cuts paper."
"Measurement markings on the board contrast nicely which gives me quick visual references. Compared to its most expensive older brother which is made of wood, this unit works just the same."
"I've used this quite a bit since I received it yesterday."
"I cut through 10 coupon inserts at a time with absolutely no problems."
"As public school teachers, we LOVE having a paper cutter at home."

"I initailly bought this paper cutter to use for trimming prints of my artwork. Once I started using it on my artwork I noticed the measurements are significantly off."
