Fiskars 5" Micro-Tip Fabric Scissors - Orange Handle, Precision 5-inch Sewing Shears

Built on Fiskars' long-standing reputation for dependable cutting tools, the No. 5 Micro-Tip combines a compact 5-inch profile with precision-ground stainless steel blades and the brand's signature orange double-loop handle. These scissors are made to reach into narrow seams, trim appliqué points, and handle delicate embroidered edges while giving comfortable control to both right- and left-handed users.

How do these scissors improve detailed sewing and crafting?

The micro-tip blades are ground to meet at a fine point so you can snip close to seams, thread ends, and dense trims without tearing surrounding fabric. The sharp tips also make small, accurate cuts at awkward angles that larger shears cannot achieve.

• Precision-ground stainless steel blades that cut to the tip for exact results
• Micro-tip shape reaches into tight corners and layered fabrics
• Compact 5" length for nimble, controlled snips

Are these scissors comfortable and suitable for left-handed users?

The ambidextrous double-loop handle is shaped to provide good tactile control for both hands, so you won't need a special left-handed pair for many light-precision tasks. The ergonomic loops reduce pinch and allow steady guiding of delicate cuts over extended sessions.

• Double-loop handle accommodates varied grip styles and hand sizes
• Balanced weight distribution for controlled, fatigue-reducing use
• Works for right- and left-handed stitchers on most light tasks

How durable are the blades and what maintenance do they need?

Made from high-grade stainless steel and precision-ground, the blades hold their edge and are built for long-term use in crafting environments. Basic care—wiping clean after use and avoiding cutting paper or pins that blunt edges—keeps them performing well.

• High-grade stainless steel resists corrosion and wear
• Precision-ground edge for consistent sharpness to the tip
• Simple maintenance: clean blade, avoid cutting unsuitable materials

What projects are these scissors best suited for?

The No. 5 Micro-Tip scissors excel at tasks that require accuracy rather than long, continuous cutting. They are ideal for trimming seams, appliqué work, dressmaking details, embroidery finishing, and small craft jobs where control matters more than blade length.

• Trimming seam allowances and clipping curves
• Detail work: applique points, thread snips, and embroidery edges
• Small craft and paper tasks where precision counts
