Construction
The Fiskars brand is almost always a high-quality product. These scissors are no exception; they are lightweight yet very durable. The "softouch" aspect to them is accurate; the grip is rubberized so that the scissors are comfortable to hold and use.
In terms of sharpness, the blades of the scissors are extremely sharp and cut through both paper and plastic easily. I was able to quickly wrap a present by slicing through the wrapping paper with ease, not tearing or snagging any piece.
Use
These scissors are easy to use, once you get used to them. Traditional scissors have both blades balanced to evenly rotate on the fulcrum point (the screw/weld in the middle of the blades). This means that the strength of the scissors, as well as the power of the cut, is determined by the hand strength of the user. This also means that for someone with arthritis in the hands, traditional scissors can result in pain after using them for a time.
These spring-loaded scissors operate differently; only the top blade moves. When using these, you can rest the bottom of the scissors against your tabletop and "push" them forward across the surface of whatever it is that you are cutting. The spring-loaded lever action means you use much less strength to cut something than with a traditional pair of scissors. In addition, the softouch grip makes it more comfortable to use.
The tricky part in using these scissors is learning to align the blades along the line that you wish to cut. In a traditional pair of scissors (at least for me), I used to open the blades and pull the piece of paper to the fulcrum point (where the blades intersected), resulting in a more precise cut along a designated line (such as with coupon pages). With the Fiskars 9911 Softouch Multi Purpose Scissors, it is not possible to pull the paper to the blade intersection; you have to start trimming further down the blade (I hope that this make sense, I am trying to explain this the best that I can!). This usually results in the cuts being "off" to one side or the other of the line by 1/8-to-1/4". Fortunately, it is easy to adjust to this and make precision cuts.
Overall
If you need a durable pair of scissors which are comfortable to use, are sharp, and also lock closed (an added bonus that I forgot to mention above), then the Fiskars 9911 Softouch scissors are for you. For the price, they do what they are needed to do, and then some. For someone with arthritis, these scissors are a blessing. Consider these for either yourself or a gift for someone that uses scissors frequently (maybe a scrapbooker? coupon fanatic?). They will love you for them!
These scissors have sharp tips and work amazingly well with my pom pom makers. I saved some money by buying these on Amazon versus a craft store chain. I'm extremely happy with my purchase!!!
