Common questions

What is an offset handle?

The thumb branch is shorter, so the thumb ring sits closer to the pivot than the finger ring and your thumb rests lower.

Offset or straight handle?

Offset is the most common layout in our range. A straight handle keeps both rings level, like a classic pair. If you're used to one, stay with it.

Are all offset scissors the same shape?

No. The amount of offset, the ring angle and the ring size vary by model, and semi-offset sits between offset and straight.
