SU Paper Snips vs. Cutter Bee scissors?
Does anyone have the Cutter Bee snip type scissors. I LOVE my SU rubber scissors. I wonder if the Cutter bee is as good as the SU paper snips & I could use a Michael's coupon. Thanks!

Don't have Cutter Bee, but I know I couldn't live without my SU! paper snips!!! Love them! :D
|
i have both and they are similar. my cutterbees are older so i don't know how fair the following is, but...sometimes the blades try to cross a little on my cutterbees so they don't always give me the best cut. they're fine most of the time, i just have to be careful when using them. this may be an issue with all scissors that see a lot of use, i may have gotten a bum pair, or it might just be the way i hold them!
but the blades on the cutterbees are very sharp and they have the nice precision tip (same as su snips). |
don't have cutter bee (sorry) but I have heard they are very good-don't know about a comparison to SU's.
I would make sure they have a cover-the SU ones are super-sharp (great for cutting ribbon) so the cover does help protect them (and you :D ) |
I believe they are the same :) Emily has both of them and said they are the same :)
She was totally FREAKING OUT when she couldn't find her snips the other day. I was like oh my WORD, calm DOWN child! She went out and bought Cutter Bees so she could stamp again. Kimberly |
I LOVE my Cutterbee scissors! I don't know about the SU snips, but I hear they are the same.
|
I had cutterbees before SU had papersnips and sung cutterbees praises high and low...got a pair of paper snips...they are exactly the same except packaged for SU by EK success. Love them!

The colour is different and that is all! However that being said I need to get both pair sharpened because I use them all the time at home and at workshops! lol The tips no longer cut the ribbon. I have to place them further up the blade and it isn't exactly a long blade. he he he :roll:
|
I have the cutterbee scissors and love them, they are great, if you are looking for a deal and have a coupon I would go for them,
|
I have had the Cutterbees for a couple of years and love them for detail work. They are supersharp. I'm thinking about getting the non-stick version that is now available so I don't have to clean all the sticker stuff off them.
Melissa :D |
I have the SU snips, and in my opinion, they are worthless - a complete waste of money. I thought they would be good for close, detail cutting of stamps, but they cross over even cutting CS. They've never worked on rubber - they are way too weak! I just ordered some cutterbees based on opinions of those who have them. I'm hoping they'll work.
|
The snips aren't for rubber, they are paper snips. Now the big $19.95 rubber cutting scissors are for rubber, and they are also just as awesome as the paper snips.
I have the SU snips and Cutterbees, and have never had a problem. I use the SU for paper and my CB's for ribbon. |
Love em!
I have a pair of Cutter Bee's I found them at WM, $7.99. I have a pair Rubber stamp scissor's that Use for cutting rubber...Chinese Sharp ones!!
Cutter Bee's come in 3 different colors...Orange, Green, And Blue |

SU's rubber scissors are an entirely different product :) Kimberly |
I have multiple pairs of Cutterbees and while they are better than regular scissors they don't stay sharp for very long. Mine will no longer cut ribbon or anything fabricy... I am going to try the teflon pair they have and I might also try the SU pair.

i didn't find that the teflon ones helped much with keeping adhesive off, they clean a little easier than normal scissors but adhesive still gets on them when cutting stickers and whatnot. |
I have the Honeybee (the non-stick) and I love them--they work real well for me-and I cut paper and ribbons with them--(I know, I should use them for one or the other :roll: ) I even cut the su real sticky tape with them, and they don't stick!
|
I have the cutter bee from before I became a demo. They come with a case and I think they are the same as the SU paper snips. Therefore, I find they both work great.
|
I had my Cutterbees first and thought there could NEVER be better UNTIL I got my SU Snips!!! I Love my SU ones much better, smoother, sharper, love 'em. And speaking of scissors, I thought my Fiskars cut stamps well until I got my SU stamp cutters! Holy Moly! They cut through them like buddah' JMHO!
|
I have COLOR bees (Pink ones!) and the blades are titanium and should stay sharp for a very long time. I LOVE them and have had them since before I became a demo. The SU Papersnips are on the list for my next big order because you can never have too many pairs of good snips! I'm a hobby demo and getting the 'real' stuff as I can - or as I can justify it.
|
:D YOU already knowwhat I am going to say.
|
I have two pairs of CutterBees (regular and titatinum) and the Honey Bees (non stick surface). I love them for detail work but NONE of them cut ribbon. I love my paper snips for ribbon cutting but they blades are a little different than the cutterbees. So for fine detail, I still use my Cutterbees. I do love the Snips, but for different things!

So ARE SU's Paper snips and the TITANIUM cutter bee the same
I have both and I think both are great! And they are pretty much the same from what I can tell!
|
I have the cutter bees (like SU paper snips) and honeybees (teflon coated) and really like them both... but like MamaK said, they are for PAPER, so I don't use them to cut anything else. Also, as any of you seamstresses out there are probably well aware, paper is really hard on scissor blades - dulls them out over time... so they will have to be replaced sooner or later. Thanks, BTW, for mentioning the titanium blades - those might be a different story!
|
I have the COLORBees from Walmart...wonder if they are the same as Cutter Bees...anyways....I have some fiskars too and the colorbees aren't as good as the Fiskars (imo) but I haven't tried the SU ones.
|
Cutter Bees are the same as Color Bees - Cutter Bees are black and yellow and Color Bees can be (as I've seen them) blue and pink. HTH

Okay, I spent the money at Michael's w/ my coupon (sorry Veronica! Don't kick me off your mailing list :D ) to get the honeybee scissors (teflon).
I do have to say, I grew up w/ a sewing mom & became a seamstress (not by trade!), so we've always had 'special scissors' that we could ONLY use on fabric! I totally understand about not cutting paper w/ fabric scissors, etc.! My girls can't TOUCH my SU scissors unless I'm there to watch! Thanks for your input! I'll let you know when I start snippin'!
