The blade of the Pelikan Griffix school scissors is three times harder than steel due to a titanium nitride coating. The rounded blade is particularly well-suited for younger children who are already proficient at cutting. The ergonomic handle is made from a combination of hard and soft, high-quality plastic and is free from PVC and latex. As with the popular Griffix writing learning system, the smiley indicates the correct hand orientation, making these scissors suitable for right-handed users. Includes a name field.
