2-Way Portable Scissors, HAKO-AKE Compact Pocket Size Travel Scissors, Carbon Stainless Steel Blade All Purpose Craft Scissor Box Cutter for Office, Travel and Home. Sand Beige (Hasa-420LS)

It is perfect for opening packages. I have it close to my front door for ease of use. It is a decent size in the hand and also isn't a pain to hold even when using the scissor function. Worth every penny

I like the retractable scissor idea but the blade is a bit dull on the end of the scissor

A great idea but !

Good sharp blade, cuts nicely. Best suited for cutting thin cardboard as it struggled with some thick boxes. Great for opening parcels

I like the concept, design, and general form factor. However, the execution is lacking; it consists of two sheet metal blades with opposing chisel-ground edges that, while "sharp", struggled to even cut the cardboard Amazon envelope they were sold in. When cutting thicker material, the blades will deflect and try to twist the material parallel, reducing its cutting ability, and try to retract the scissors back into the handle. This product is a bad box cutter and a bad pair of scissors. I don't think this is inherent to the design, but due to the poor execution. The body appears to be injection moulded ABS, and the blades are punched sheet metal. These are some of the cheapest methods for manufacturing this product. Absolutely not worth the £14 it is being sold for, buy a cheap pair of "electrician's scissors/shears" and a box cutter. I purchased two pairs, one pair for myself and one for a colleague. I am disappointed.

Started using this for day to day package and box cutting and worked well and was enjoyable to use. Then, after a couple days the scissor function would stick and not reopen after pressing down and the mechanism was not working correctly. Would not buy again.

KOKUYO’s HAKO-AKE 2-Way Portable Scissors are seriously handy. You get scissors and a mini box cutter in one sleek package! It’s pen-sized, so you can toss it in any bag or pocket and forget it’s there. The mechanism is genuinely satisfying to slide (soft snap, good click), and it flips from box cutter mode to scissors with zero hassle. Opening packages or snipping tags is easy and feels safer than fiddling with a full-sized blade, especially in public or when traveling. The compact design means the blade isn’t huge, so don’t expect to slice through thick cardboard or heavy-duty craft projects. For all your light cutting, they slice through paper, tape, tags, and thinner plastic bags with no hassle. It feels sturdy for its size, the cover keeps the blades tucked away safely, and it’s a conversation piece every time I lend it to someone. Just remember: novelty factor is real, but the practical side holds up too. My backpack is just that little bit more prepared for anything.

I love it but honestly if it was a metal body with a belt hook and the cutter setting came out a bit longer I'd pay 100$.

These scissors are high quality and sharp. They are dual end with on side being pointed and sharp and the other is rounded which helps open packages, breaking down boxes and opening up the mail. They are a nice size and really comfortable to use, as well as the cover keeps them protected when they are stored away.
