SOHMO Matchbox Scissors
The world's cutest travel scissors.
Meet the scissors that get away with things full-size scissors never could. SOHMO Matchbox Scissors are mini squeeze scissors designed from scratch to clear airport security, which can be a difficult brief for a pair of scissors to meet! The matchbox packaging protects the snips, tucks neatly into a project bag or travel kit, and makes these one of the most giftable tools we make.
Squeeze the handles to close the blades, release to open. They're built for quick thread trims and single-layer fabric cuts on the go: English paper piecing, slow stitching, embroidery, needlework, knitting or whatever project you've decided needs to come on holiday with you.
The small loop on the handle is there for a wrist elastic, ribbon, or project bag charm, so they stay within reach instead of vanishing into the bottom of your sewing basket (we've all lost a pair of scissors to that black hole). And because the blade length meets airline carry-on regulations, these are scissors you can actually pack without having to sweat through security checks.
Matchbox Scissors are designed to meet aviation carry-on requirements in most countries, though as with all scissors, the final call rests with airport security. Always check the specific rules for your departure and destination country before flying.
