ALLEX Japanese Office Scissors S-165F Black

I have a pair of fluorine coated scissors that are great to cut stickers, adhesive and tapes, but it’s a travel size one and wanted a standard one for everyday usage. So I got both a Fluroine coated one and a stainless steel one. Be aware, they are slim, and even with my child sized fingers, they’re not the most comfortable. Anyone with larger fingers will find these a tight fit. The Fluorine one still does gum up after heavy use, so don’t be surprised about that. Other than those things, they’re great scissors.

It might be partly due to me not having a pair of scissors I liked since my previously favorite pair broke on me several years ago, but I just absolutely love these scissors. I think I love them more than the pair that broke, actually. From the sleek black of them, how the handles are padded with rubber, to how they cut paper like butter, these scissors are just awesome. I do wish the handle part was bigger but that's just a minor thing.

ALLEX Letter Opener Knife Japanese Stainless Steel 6.7 Inch, Great letter opener...before buying I saw some reviews negatively mentioning its sharpness and such. I think this has more to do with the word "Razor" in the title/description: "Razor Letter Opener Sword Made in JAPAN". Should remove the word "Razor", substitute with "Sleek". Personally, I would remove the words "Sword" and "Knife". I think this gives the wrong impression. For me, a letter opener does not need to be "razor sharp". That can be dangerous having an open blade of such sharpness lying about. It simply needs a nice strong sleek edge. This specific letter opener is about 6 1/2" in total length. The cutting edge length is approx. 3". It's the right size for me. But I don't have overly large hands. The open area in the handle area is not really useful other then for storing/hanging if that's your desire. Mine just sits in a holder with my writing utensils. The stainless steel material is outstanding and do like the angled handle. 5-Stars

Although these scissors cut well at the tip and near the hinge, the blades curve slightly away from each other at the middle. Heavier material such as cardboard is partly crushed, giving strong resistance to making a single cut by fully closing the scissors.

Super sharp. I bought another one just to have around. I also like that it's not too big and slim.

I feel as if I received a knock off product because everyone seems to think these scissors are so great. Yes, the design of the scissors are clean, but that's where the positives end. It's said that tape residue doesn't stick to them after cutting tape. Uh, yes it does. They often won't even cut the packaging tape I'm trying to cut, but end up folding the tape on to itself through the process. I have an old pair of Fiskars scissors that cut through the same tape with ease where with the Allex I'm left trying to apply extra pressure on the blades to try and have them cut. They look good with other minimal office supply aesthetic, however they're just pretty, I leave the cutting to my old scissors that's hidden away in my drawer.

These feel like they are cheaply made despite the cool, technical look. They cut with a scratchiness that isn't present in other run-of-the-mill brands of scissors, and they are not comfortable to hold. I tried to use them for collaging but they were not doing a good job. Not like butter.

As a person in a design profession, I always try to surround myself with cool objects even when it comes to mundane objects. And it may seem funny to some I should get excited about a simple pair of scissors, but these are simply beautiful. Simple (maybe a better word is "elegant"), comfortable for the occasional use, and I really do trust the quality (made in Japan).

オシャレ！切れ味も良い

This is a second pair as our first went missing at a school PTA event. Great feel in the hand, sharp cutting edging and very satisfying weight. A high quality pair of scissors that are a joy to use.

Good quality and sharp

切りやすい、持ちやすい、使いやすい！

デザインがスタイリッシュで良いなと思い購入しました。切れ味に関しては、普通の紙類や厚紙を切る分には断然良いのですが、薄手のフィルムなどは全く切れません。使用感も少し重い感じで、長時間使用する方にはオススメできないかも。
