Scissors Maped SMILING PLANET round 160 mm for left-handers with ergonomic 3D handles, made from 50% FSC-certified wood

Maped SMILING PLANET round 160 mm scissors for left-handers combine a rounded-tip blade design with an ergonomic 3D handle and a wooden body made from 50% FSC-certified wood. These scissors are 160 mm in overall length and are shaped specifically to match left-handed cutting motion. The rounded tips increase safety for use by children and in shared environments, while the wooden mounting reduces plastic content and provides a stable blade assembly. The product is intended for everyday cutting tasks in school, office and craft settings where left-handed operation and safe tips are required.

Advantages

The ergonomic 3D handles are contoured to give comfortable support for left-hand grip, reducing hand strain during repeated use. Rounded blade tips minimise risk of puncture injuries, making the scissors suitable for classroom and family use. The wooden body contains 50% FSC-certified wood, offering a more sustainable alternative to fully plastic constructions while maintaining a rigid mount for blade alignment. The blade geometry and handle placement are arranged to provide proper cutting control for left-handed users.

Suitable for

• School activities and classroom use for left-handed pupils
• Office tasks with light paper, card or tape cutting
• Hobby and craft projects requiring safe, rounded tips
• Shared environments where reduced risk of accidental injury is desired

How to use

Hold the scissors with the dominant left hand so that the ergonomic 3D handle supports the fingers and thumb comfortably. Position material between the blades close to the pivot for precise cuts, and open and close the handles in a smooth motion to avoid jerking. Use rounded-tip scissors for cutting paper, card, tape and lightweight craft materials; avoid cutting wire, hardened plastic or other materials that could damage the blades. After use, store the scissors in a safe place out of reach of very young children.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, clean blades after use with a dry cloth and dry thoroughly if they become wet. Keep the pivot area free from adhesive or fibres; if necessary, apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot to maintain smooth action. Use these scissors primarily with paper, cardboard and other lightweight materials to preserve blade sharpness and the wooden mounting.
