User questions & answers
Question: | Where is this product made |
Answer: | China. The product is quality manufactured and is very good for the application of paints as described. |
Question: | Will this work for everyone |
Answer: | Not having much of an idea what you mean by that...I teach dot painting classes and they work differently for everyone. Light touch, heavy touch and everything in between. Results can also vary between the surface you are dotting on and your level of patience. Frequent cleaning is necessary as dots will change with paint build up. I use these tools for my classes and personal dot art. |
Question: | What is the purpose of the indentation pen |
Answer: | Hi, thanks for your questions, the indentation pen with rounded tip can protect the paper from cutting or tearing. In addition, it can also be applied in many DIY in life, such as nail beauty. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Are the bones ethically sourced |
Answer: | disagree with previous answerer....it's NOT plastic, it's Ox bone, as the vendor has stated. I doubt it is ethically sourced, as it is likely a byproduct from the meat industry and very little meat is ethically killed. For me as a consumer interested in these issues though, I consider it more ethical to use all the parts of the animal that has been raised/killed inhumanely than it would be to throw them away. I also believe that by buying this organic material which will eventually bio-degrade, rather than the plastic ones on the market which will end up in the ocean, harming sea-life, and that the workers making these bone folders are exposed to less toxic chemicals than plastics manufacturing, I am being more ethical in my purchase. But for a less than $6 tool, that is a byproduct of another huge industry, I doubt you're gonna get any 3rd party certification of ethics. My 2 sense. |
Question: | What type of bone are these made of? Are they the same size? What is the size |
Answer: | Dear R,yes,they are the same size.(Approx.6inch)And it is made of ox bone. |
Question: | Will this work with the Martha Stewart scoring board? I have the same question as a previous person but it was never answered |
Answer: | I can't say for certain because I don't have that board, but my guess would be yes. It's the same size and shape as any other paper-folder/scorer so unless the MS scoring board takes a specially made tool (which is possible) it should work. This would work on any of the scoring plates I've bought. |
Question: | Is it made of real bone |
Answer: | It says "bone" so I take it as so. Real or not it fits in my hand and creases great. I made a mistake with it and creased red cardstock paper, now I have a rub of light pink on it. That color does not take away from the job I bought it for. It is light weight. |

User questions & answers
Question: | how big are these scissors |
Answer: | These scissors are 5 1/4 inches long. |
Question: | Are they rust proof |
Answer: | I am not certain. One of our sons has had a pair for over 5 years, these scissors were subjected to every school adhesive imaginable + water - No rust yet:) |
Question: | Would these work to cut super fine minature u shapes and other super fine details in paper? think these would be great? thank you |
Answer: | They are very nice scissors. I just tried cutting an u shape out of a piece of regular paper and they seemed to work fine, but that just my opinion. |
Question: | What is the difference between old style and new style? Just the package is the only difference? thanks |
Answer: | Yes, there is a difference between the two scissors. The yellow and green handled scissors (old packaging) are sharp, but do not have a non-stick coating. The gray and white handled scissors (new packaging) have a non-stick coating on the blades. To me, they seem less sharp and I find that I have to work the scissors more when I am paper cutting. The coating causes the blades to "slip" and lose their grip on the paper. Personally, I find the yellow and green scissors to be a better option for ease with paper cutting. |
