They feature rust-resistant stainless steel blades and lightweight ergonomic handles that work for both left- and right-handed users. With an overall length of 8.3 inches and a blade width of 2.3 inches, these shears are suited for light-duty cutting of paper, ribbon, and photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these scissors different from standard scissors?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Westcott shears combine rust-resistant stainless steel blades with a lightweight plastic handle that is ergonomically shaped.
