Every kitchen needs at least two pairs of scissors. One pair needs to be easy to clean, durable and sharp enough to tackle chicken pieces, herbs and bits of veg. The other pair is used to tackle the every day tasks, from opening packets to cutting construction paper. To be honest this second pair is mostly needed as an insurance that your cooking scissors don't go walking off when husbands and children go looking through your kitchen drawers. However, just because they aren't used for cooking doesn't mean they aren't important. Ten years ago Fiskars revolutionised Scissor design, and since then they've been they've been a practical choice for around the home. I bought a couple of the original Soft Touch Micro Tip Scissors back in 1997, since then they've never been sharpened and they still cut cleanly and clearly through virtually everything. With an innovative spring loaded design, you can cut paper for hours without your hand aching. Suitable for both and right and left handed, Fiskars scissors are a fabulous choice for those with arthritis or sore joints, while also being durable and robust enough for everyday use.
