Midori Compact Scissors, XS Series, White (49470006)

Very nice, sharp, and super compact to throw in my slingshot bag. Tied a little string to the lanyard hole to assist with wrap n tuck. Great little piece of kit.

Convenient little scissors that snip very well. Only thing I didn't like was the paper gets stuck on the thick handle. Once you guide the paper around the handle you can continue to snip. Other than that, it's good to have an extra pair of scissors in my desk draw.

I bought these to throw in my "dad bag" kit. I use this to cut up food for easier bite sized morsels for my toddler (e.g. noodles, veggies, etc.). I also carry kid-friendly utensils (small fork/spoon with case and training chopsticks, silicone straw). These scissors are much, much better than other folding scissors (Stickyle, Fiskars), and the form factor is really nice. The full lock position can be a little fiddly, but when you fully lock (pinch the handles closed), it feels secure. Spring is strong enough and the blades lock in extended position better than other sliders I've tried. Open/close mechanism works well, and they're easy enough to clean. I haven't run them through the dishwasher yet, but i haven't had any rusting issues or indication of sub-par metal alloys. I like this "full handle" form factor vs. other slider scissors, and the full fold (round) handle style scissors just don't pack as nicely, and feel sketchier to open.

Love these. Cuts well. Compact and comfortable to use.

These are lovely little scissors. They feel reasonably well built. However, I've been mainly using them to trim green onion stalks, and after just a month of use they're starting to crush rather than snip unless I hold them in a particular way. Just a minor annoyance, not quite a deal breaker. I'd say these are best for occasional rather than regular use.

Great quality and good scissors for my travel EDC

I use these scissors for school, the fit nicely in my pencil pouch

You can never go wrong with Midori. Far superior to other no name ones.

Sehr gute Qualität trotz Kunststoffgriffen.

Ciseaux de poche très utiles !

The Midori 49469006 XS Scissor in black is a Japanese-designed stationery item that has become a favorite among travelers, students, and anyone who values portability and clever design. Part of Midori's "XS" (Extra Small) series, these scissors are incredibly compact, making them easy to carry in a pocket, pencil case, or pouch. The standout feature is the unique retractable design. The stainless steel blades are safely housed within the plastic handle, and they are extended and retracted with a simple slider mechanism. This not only makes them safe to carry but also keeps the blades protected. Despite their small size, the scissors are surprisingly effective, with many users praising their sharp blades for cutting paper, thread, and other light materials with precision. They are not designed for heavy-duty tasks like cutting cardboard, but for quick, everyday use, they are a perfect tool. The black color gives them a sleek, minimalist look that is both stylish and functional.

山に持っていくファーストエイドポーチ用に購入 特別に切れるというわけではないが必要十分に切れるし自分は服の糸のほつれとかパンや行動食の 袋開けがメインなので問題なし 重量は２１グラムと軽量で類似品はABSで経年変化に弱いがこれはポリカーボネイト製なのが嬉しい ポイント

コンパクト、フタ無し、刃の長さが十分ある。 加えてバネが強めで厚めの紙も切れます。 刃と刃の合わせが緩いと薄い物が切れなかったりしますが、こちらは薄いビニールもスパッと切れます。 携帯ハサミとしては優秀だと思います。 地味な点ですがストラップ穴も有り、ストラップを付ければカバンの中で迷子になりにくい。 コンパクトゆえ無くしやすい欠点もちゃんと解消されている。
