Key features & specs

How it compares

Traditional scissors typically utilize virgin ABS plastics derived from petroleum, whereas Onyx and Green uses wheat straw, a byproduct of wheat harvesting that would otherwise be burned. While bamboo-handled scissors exist, wheat straw offers a smoother finish and higher impact resistance for daily office use.

Compared to standard stainless steel scissors, these blades are sourced from recycled metal, reducing the energy-intensive mining process required for new steel production.

What to know before buying

1. The handles have a unique speckled appearance due to the natural wheat fibers.
2. These scissors are designed for medium-duty tasks like cutting paper, cardstock, and light fabric.
3. The tension of the recycled steel blades is adjustable via the center screw if they become loose over time.
4. Onyx and Green uses minimal, plastic-free packaging that should be recycled immediately after opening.
