Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with something I’ve had for a while: these three-bladed scissors. Yeah, you heard that right, three blades on one pair of scissors! I got them a while back, thinking they’d be super handy for cutting up herbs and stuff in the kitchen. It’s like using multi-blade or multi-layer scissors that I heard about, thought it was pretty cool, cutting herbs must be fast.
First things first, I grabbed a bunch of paper ’cause I wanted to see how these things handle. They’re pretty sharp, I’ll give them that. Started with just straight lines, no problem at all. The blades sliced right through like butter. Then I thought, let’s make it a bit more challenging. I started cutting out some shapes, you know, circles, squares, the usual.
- I noticed it’s really important to hold them with your thumb-nail facing up. Sounds weird, but it makes a difference. As I went around the curves, I kept reminding myself, “Thumb-nail up, thumb-nail up!” Otherwise, these scissors start acting wonky.
- Sitting comfortably is key, too. You need that bilateral integration, fine motor skills, all that jazz. It’s not just about the scissors; it’s about how you use your hands and body.
After messing around with paper, I moved on to some actual herbs. I had some parsley and chives that needed chopping. Let me tell you, these scissors make quick work of it. Snip, snip, snip, and you’ve got finely chopped herbs ready to go. It’s way faster than using a knife, that’s for sure.
I also tried cutting some fabric scraps I had lying around. These scissors are not just for the kitchen, apparently. They cut through the fabric pretty cleanly, though I did notice you need to be a bit more precise with thicker materials.
At first, I was fumbling around, trying to get the hang of it. But once I figured out the right way to hold them, it was smooth sailing. I even tried cutting some cardboard, just to see what these scissors could really do. It was tough, I had to use a bit more force, and the cuts weren’t as clean as with the paper or fabric. But hey, they still cut through it.
In the end
These three-bladed scissors are pretty cool. They definitely have their uses, especially if you need to do a lot of fine cutting. Would I recommend them? Sure, why not? They’re a fun little tool to have around, and they do make some tasks a whole lot easier.
