SU Paper Snips

[Christine0516]

Why oh why did I wait so long to order SU's paper snips scissors?!?! They are amazing :-D

They are great! My DH had to have his own.

What is special about them? I have a pair of Cutterbee (the teflon-coated ones) that I use for fussy-cutting. Are the SU! paper snips better? The same? Curious minds want to know!

A little gentle bump -- as I'd like to know as well

I have the teflon blades Cutterbees as well and they have gotten a bit dull at the tips and make my hand tired if I use them too long. Curious if the SU ones are better too!

I've never tried the cutterbees, so I can't compare them. The SU snips are light and so sharp! I love how they have allowed me to get into small crevices with precision!

I have both and I like the SU snips better, they feel better in my hands and are sharper.

Thanks for your responses, Christine and Jeannie.

OK, SU's snips are going on my next order! When I started out I had cheap scissors and shears and slowly replaced them with better quality products. My dull Cutterbees can retire to the kitchen table/desk.

I have the cutterbees scissors, but used the paper snips when I used to go to classes. They didn't really seem very different to me, quality wise. I love my cutterbees, use them all the time, and they are just around $5 if you use a coupon.

I just read in an old thread from 2005 that cutterbees and paper snips are both my EK success.

I have three pairs. I like the very pointy tip which I can jab into cardstock and such...but it hurts when I jab my own self, ow! SHARP!
