Vector Scissors combine the guiding precision of a paper guillotine with the versatility of handheld scissors. The handle can be pressed against the edge of a table, stabilizing both the hand and the blades. This allows for a controlled, linear cutting motion using the table as a guide, ensuring straight cuts with ease. Extensive research into scissor mechanics, blade orientation, and ergonomics led to a refined design that enhances precision without altering traditional functionality.
