Fiskars Premier No. 5 Micro-Tip Titanium Scissors, Orange — Easy-Action SoftGrip Precision for Sewing & Crafts

Fiskars Premier No. 5 Micro-Tip Easy Action Titanium Scissors are spring-assisted precision scissors with titanium-coated blades and a SoftGrip handle for detailed cutting tasks. These scissors are built for close, accurate cuts in sewing, crafting, and mixed-media projects. The micro-tip blade geometry reaches into tight corners and trims fine threads while a titanium coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance. The spring-action mechanism reduces repetitive-hand strain, and a safe thumb-lock stores the tool closed when not in use.

How do these scissors improve precision on intricate projects?

The micro-tip blades are ground to a fine point and finished to cut all the way to the tip, letting you trim narrow seams, appliqué edges, and delicate paper details. Precision-ground stainless steel keeps the edge true, and the titanium coating enhances durability so tips stay sharper longer.

• Micro-tip geometry reaches tight corners and thread ends
• Precision-ground stainless steel ensures a clean cut to the tip
• Titanium coating increases surface hardness and scratch resistance

What makes the Easy Action design helpful for long sessions?

The spring-assisted handle automatically reopens the blades after each cut, so you don’t have to manually spread the handles every time. That reduces hand closure effort during repetitive trimming and lowers fatigue, especially when working through layers or long projects. A SoftGrip insert adds cushioning and stability for sustained control.

• Spring-action mechanism reopens blades to minimize hand strain
• SoftGrip handle for cushioned comfort and improved control
• Easy-open thumb lock secures scissors for storage and travel

Which materials and tasks are these scissors best suited for?

These scissors handle a wide range of craft and sewing materials, from lightweight fabrics and paper to denim and multiple fabric layers. They excel at tasks that demand fine trimming, such as thread clipping, appliqué, paper cutting, and mixed-media detailing. They are not intended for heavy industrial cutting or wire cutting.

• Ideal for fabric, paper, felt, thread, and lightweight leather

How do I care for and store these scissors to keep them performing?

Keep blades clean and dry after use to preserve the titanium finish and prevent corrosion. Wipe with a soft cloth and avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads. Use the included thumb-lock when storing to protect the tips, and send them to a qualified sharpener if they show wear.

• Wipe blades clean and dry after each use
• Avoid abrasive cleaners; use a soft cloth only
