When Spencer Nugent cuts something with scissors, he likes to be in control. For him, a bouncing bottom blade is waste of time and just plain uncomfortable, while the double-handled design of conventional scissors twists your wrist to an awkward angle.
Nugent decided to fix this, and came up with the Comfort Grip Scissors. These keep the lower blade still, flat down on the table top, while the upper blade snicker-snacks and does the the cutting. The handles, too, have moved, one inside the other: you simply squeeze them together to close the blades.
Especially good in this concept redesign is the choice of materials. The metal blades and orange loop-handles are so familiar that when you see them morphed like this there is a momentary mental disconnect, like walking into a neighbors apartment, identical in layout to your own, only furnished differently. Get these off the drawing board and into stores, Spencer, and I’ll buy a pair right away.
