There are many different handle types on the market today such as Straight (Opposing), Offset and Swivel all of which dominate the market today but of all these designs there is one type that stand out most among the rest which is the Offset handle.
This type of design is one that 96% of our customers find most comfortable to use and the easiest to use when transitioning between cutting techniques. Whilst most report that they find it the most comfortable to use and easiest to become to accustomed to when transitioning from Opposing (straight) handle scissors.
The Offset handle’s encourages a more open and free moving hand that helps reduce tension in the wrist and thumb area. The offset design also provides you with a more natural and versatile body position, helping you lower your elbow and arm to be considerably, reducing the risk of developing injuries such as RSI, Carpal Tunnel, Back Pain, etc.
