Penco Scissors L red
The Penco Scissors L by Hightide is an everyday pair of scissors with clear purpose: stainless steel, rubberised handles in rich red, and a retro design reminiscent of post-war American tools. Size L is the variant for swift, powerful cuts – wider sheets of paper, multiple layers at once, cardboard and card that would challenge a smaller pair of scissors. Manufactured by Hightide in Japan, where the Penco brand has stood for straightforward, functional desk accessories since 1999.
Features
- Stainless steel blades – corrosion-resistant and permanently sharp; deliver clean, burr-free cut edges through paper, card and thin films.
- Rubberised grip shells in red – the textured PVC surface provides firm, slip-resistant grip, even during extended cutting; the vibrant red makes the scissors instantly visible on your desk.
- Size L – the longer blade allows swift cuts over greater distances without repositioning; ideal for A4 sheets, wrapping paper, paper rolls and similar formats.
- Retro industrial design – Penco's clear, ornament-free appearance takes its cue from the look of classic American hardware; timeless and free from seasonal fashion trends.
- Made in Japan – Hightide manufactures in Japan and stands for functional desk culture with precise manufacturing quality.
Use & Tips
- Cutting paper and card: The size L blade cuts evenly through multiple layers of paper or light cardboard – ideal for craft work, planning and office tasks.
- Journals and planners: Cut magazine clippings, labels, washi tape sheets or sticker sheets to size with the long blade, without needing to reposition the scissors.
- Wrapping and packing: Cut gift wrap and packing paper in one smooth motion – no slipping, no tearing.
- Care: Wipe the blades occasionally with a dry cloth, especially after cutting sticky materials like tape. A drop of sewing machine oil on the screw keeps the mechanism moving smoothly over time.
