iSteve Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've been hunting around for a good, small, sharp pair of scissors for precision cutting or just good, clean cuts for, say, decals. For really good scissors, the consensus seems to be Kai scissors. I've looked over their products and figure the N3140S Embroidery and Handicraft Scissors look about right for my needs. Anyone here familiar with the brand? Own a pair? Recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Personally I would go for Tamiya decal scissors... https://www.amazon.ca/Tamiya-74031-Decal-Scissors-japan/dp/B000BMV0HO Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've never seen or used the Kai scissors you mention, but I'd certainly give a +1 for the recommendation for the Tamiya Decal Scissors, they really are excellent. Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Me too - made for the job and may be slightly cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The scissors on a Swiss Army knife are pretty good for cutting out decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I just use nail scissors - works just as well at a tiny fraction of the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Jones Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've used a pair of Fiskars needlework scissors for years now , perfect for the job and cost about a tenner. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusArenco Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I use embroidery scissors that I stole borrowed off the missus. I’ve been using them for years for decals and thin plasticard. Sharp as heck, and have drawn blood on many an occasion. No brand name, but marked up as ‘forged steel’.

iSteve Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Bought the Kai scissors and couldn't be happier. Razor sharp, clean, straight cuts and small enough to handle a variety of situations. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
