Cutting and Coating Technology
CarboTitanium Bonded®: blades are eight times harder than untreated stainless steel blades. Our patent-pending process creates a permanent molecular bond with the cutting surface so blades resist scratches, marks and stains. The blades will stay super sharp and smooth-cutting for years making them an exceptional value like all Westcott® products.
Titanium Bonded® Non-Stick blades: are now six times longer lasting than our original untreated stainless steel blades. Westcott® uses a process that bonds titanium to the blades and then coats them with a breakthrough non-stick formula to produce an adhesive-resistant, easy-to-clean, and longer-lasting cutting edge. These scissors will stay sharp, smooth-cutting and residue-free for years.
Titanium Bonded® Blades: Revolutionary cutting technology has made our patented Titanium Bonded® Scissors the most popular around the globe, and has helped them win the title of “The World’s Favorite Scissors™.” We not only make sure our scissors perform to the highest standard, but also integrate our technology into the blades of our sharpeners, paper trimmers, and craft tools.
Antimicrobial Product Protection: Westcott offers a wide range of anti-microbial protected products that helps inhibit the growth of bacterial odors. This technology keeps products from degrading by helping to prevent the growth of bacterial stains and odours.
Earth-Friendly: Westcott KleenEarth® recycled scissors have sharp, lightweight stainless steel blades and handles that are made from 70% recycled plastic and 30% post-consumer content. These reliable, durable scissors are good for the environment.
 
Safety: We add product safety features depending on age group to assure that children will be protected. Child-friendly ergonomics allow for better transfer of power, reducing finger fatigue and making scissor use safer and more enjoyable.
Ergonomics: Westcott has a variety of designs that utilize the best ergonomics to make any cutting task easy.
