ESSELTE 82120 — straight-cut office scissors with a total length of 200 mm and a 20 cm blade, designed for adults and for general office, school and home tasks. The scissors feature straight stainless-steel blades that deliver precise cuts on paper, cardstock and other lightweight materials. The single-pair construction and ergonomic handle make routine document trimming and basic craft work practical and comfortable.

Advantages

The stainless-steel blades maintain a consistent edge for clean, accurate cutting while resisting corrosion. The ergonomic handle supports a natural grip for right- or left-dominant users and reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. At a compact weight, these scissors are easy to handle and store, and their straight-cut design provides predictable, even cuts for both straight lines and general trimming.

How to use

Hold the scissors by the ergonomic handle with your thumb in the smaller loop and one or more fingers in the larger loop, positioning the material between the blades near the pivot for controlled cutting. Use steady, even pressure and guide the scissors along the intended cutting line. For longer cuts, open the blades fully and advance the material gradually to maintain a straight edge. Keep the blades closed and store safely when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these scissors on paper, cardstock and similarly lightweight materials; avoid cutting metal, wire or very thick materials that can damage the blade. Clean blades after use and dry thoroughly to prevent residue build-up. If machine washing is necessary, follow care instructions for stainless-steel tools and fully dry before storage. Regularly check the pivot for tightness and adjust if needed to maintain smooth operation.
