What You Need To Know About Scissors

 

Handle Types
Opposing Grip:  This classic design keeps your elbow up and your wrist bent at an angle.

When the elbow is up the wrist is bent.

 
Offset Grip:  This design allows your elbow to drop slightly and the wrist is less bent.  The shorter thumb handle reduces over extension of the thumb.  This allows you to cut with a more open palm.

 Crane Grip:  This design is more ergonomically healthy and offers the most benefits.  It is offset to open the hand and angled to drop the elbow position.  It relieves stress on both the shoulder and wrist.  Use with the classic palm to palm technique.

When the elbow is down the wrist is flat & straight.  Thumb travel is 30% less.
