      Yes, but not preferred. A heavier duty shear like the CW10T would be better.

              Crescent’s Tradesman scissors have great ergonomics and shape. The handles feel much more comfortable and well crafted compared to other cheaper brands, which is a huge plus if using for repeated cuts. The best feature is the alignment of the scissors. The two blades came absolutely flush with each other and very sharp. Even cutting thicker cardboard stock, these scissors had no issues giving clean cuts with no fraying edges. These live up to the quality Creacent name.

              These Crescent scissors were purchased for general use in the kitchen, with the plan to retire a pair of Fiskars which had served us well for many years. The first impressions were that these scissors are comfortable to use, sharp snd smooth in operation, without being too large for a drawer and some of the random tasks which get assigned to it in a kitchen setting. I use the larger size of these Cresent models in the garage and they also perform very well. Great scissors and highly recommended!

              Handle broke
              Handle broke, see photograph. Red part of the handle broke, cheap material

                good until they broke
                The metal blade only goes down into the plastic handle about an inch or two. This causes a weak point. The blade broke right out of the handle.

                  Just a perfect size reasonably priced scizzor for the kitchen. Never know when you have to open a package of Mozzarella cheese.

                  Worked great for my task
                  Considered purchasing a utility knife to cut air conditioner pads. When I reached for utility knife I noticed the scissors. I decided to buy the scissors and that made my job safer and easier. Nice to have the cutting tools next to each other so as to choose for proper task.

                  The best house scissors I have ever had
                  Having good scissors in the house is a must. This scissors is one of the best scissors you might have. I absolutely love them. The size can satisfy most of my needs in the house. Blades are made from stainless steel, strong and precise and are connected together by adjustable pivot, so you can adjust the cutting "tension" to your comfort if you wish. Handles are from soft on touch vinyl, along inside perimeter where fingers are touching is wider lip, so that even when I cut cardboard box and pressed harder, my fingers did not hurt and scissors did not leave any pressure imprints on my hand and fingers. So far the scissors cut everything. I cut with them cardboard, paper, jeans fabric and piece of very fine silk fabric which usually is difficult to cut. They are very comfortable to work with. Also, between both handles is a small bump functioning as a “spacer” so your fingers don’t get squeezed between both handles while cutting. Although scissors are made strong, they don’t feel heavy and cutting action is very smooth and easy.
