KOKUYO2-Way Portable Scissors, HAKO-AKE Compact Pocket Size Travel Scissors, Carbon Stainless Steel Blade All Purpose Craft Scissor Box Cutter for Office, Travel and Home. Sand Beige (Hasa-420LS)

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.

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.

This tool has been more useful than I thought it would be and its strong too! Fits nicely in my pocket and is easy to use. If I ever lose it I will buy another.

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.

I love these just to have around the house. I've purchased three so far. They blade is perfect to open boxes, but the scissors aren't great if what you're cutting is a bit thick, I cut through zip ties, but it struggled a bit. Love the simple look and way safer than a box cutter.

This technically works, but the different cutting modes don’t offer much difference in functionality when opening shipping boxes, etc. the locking mechanism either locks when you don’t want it to or slides when you don’t want it to

Awesome design for a handy pair of scissors. I use them for precision cuts.

The best part , the edge is completely protected and you can use it as a box cutter or a scissor.The box cutter bit is nice to cut open regular packages and boxes, but the scissor is sub par.It is not even sharp enough to cut 2-3 pages at once until and unless you are holding as a specific angle.I would have give it five star if it has a little better scissor.
