Otherwise it is a great set of scissors with a nice soft touch feeling to them.

The handle is soft touch which feels slightly rubbery, providing some give and makes it feel much nicer on the hands

Soft touch doesn't necessarily mean that your fingers won't fatigue as quickly using these as they would with using any other pair of scissors, but it does make it less likely to develop calluses from overuse

The soft touch handles help to ease the pain of long cutting sessions a little bit, at least

I will save you with the Scotch soft touch scissors!

They are reasonably sharp for cutting and the "soft touch" coating on

Scotch 5-Inch Soft Touch Blunt Kid Scissors, 12 Count Teacher Pack, Blue (1442B-12)This is a very good set of scissors for the little hands

These worked great for my 5 year old - the grips are, as noted, soft touch and are designed to be ambidextrous.
