Ideal as a back-up scissor, but good enough to be your go-to.

The Kobe Astro features semi-convex, hollow ground blades which make it ideal for slicing and give it the performance of scissors 10x its price. It's therefore perfect for those times when your expensive primary scissors need sharpening, but it's so good it might just become your first choice.

Those super-sharp blades are married to offset handles with a curved thumb ring designed to help your hand stay relaxed when you're cutting all day. There's a fixed finger rest for extra support and an adjustable tension screw (key supplied) so you can keep your Astro finely tuned.

Available in 3 sizes: 5.5, 6.0 or 6.5 inches.
