The Phoenix and Dragon Embroidery Scissors can cut through paper with ease, and are perfect for paper crafts where you need to make small, precise cuts. However, you need to be aware that paper dulls the edges of scissors much faster than cutting through fabric and thread does, so most people choose to keep more than one pair of scissors on hand- one for general use, and one that is reserved just for sewing and needlework.
