Quick answer

Choose BOHIN Pelican scissors for precise appliqué and seam ripping, or Epoxy colored scissors for colorful, everyday fabric cutting in two sizes.

Precision vs. versatility

Pelican scissors have a unique duck-bill shape that lets you cut close to seams without damaging the fabric underneath. This makes them ideal for detailed work like appliqué or lingerie sewing.

Epoxy colored scissors come in 11 cm and 17 cm lengths with seven pop colors. They are general-purpose fabric shears for cutting, trimming, and crafting where a colorful touch matters.

What you give up with each option

Pelican scissors are specialized: they excel at one task but are less suited for straight long cuts on large fabric pieces.

Epoxy colored scissors are versatile but lack the duck-bill tip for protecting underlying fabric during seam ripping or appliqué.

Trade-offs at a glance
