In most homes, drawer space is at a premium. So the unique, streamlined design of these multi-purpose scissors makes them a great solution – when locked closed they take up little more room than an average table knife!

To use simply slide the soft-grip catch forward with your thumb and the blades gently open. The thumb-controlled cutting action feels intuitive to use and their spring-loaded, stainless-steel blades are a pleasure to cut with. When locked closed, a serrated edge on the outside of the bottom blade also turns them into a handy box cutter too. A convenient hanging hole in the handle completes the features.

Save much needed kitchen space with these Twin-Cut compact 2-in-1 scissors from Joseph Joseph. With spring-loaded stainless steel blades, these scissors innovatively lock together when not in use to safely store away. To open the blades simply slide forward the soft-grip catch, then use the scissors as needed with a thumb- controlled cutting action. A must-have tool for any kitchen, these scissors also have an outside serrated edge which works perfectly as a box cutter.
