Feature
Use
✅ Serrated Edge Near Tip

💡 Why This Design Matters
Kitchen space is precious.
Countertops get cluttered.
And who really needs another gadget?

That’s why multifunctional tools win.
They reduce:

Clutter
Cost
Time spent switching tools
And kitchen scissors with built-in openers/grippers are a perfect example of smart, minimalist design — solving multiple problems with one trusted tool.

Myth
Truth
❌ “It’s just for looks”
False — it’s functional on most quality brands
❌ “Only fancy scissors have it”
No — many budget-friendly sets include it
