You’ve probably noticed that slightly odd, serrated section nestled between the handles of your kitchen scissors. But what could this little notched area possibly be for? Decorative? A useless gadget? Think again! This small, often overlooked detail hides a manufacturing secret that could very well become your new clever ally in the kitchen.
A small detail full of ingenuity
This grooved section, found inside the handles, isn’t there by chance. Depending on the brand, it’s called a “jar opener,” “nutcracker,” or even “non-slip grip.” Its principle is simple: when the two handles come together, the grooves interlock to create a surface that grips perfectly. The result: your fingers no longer slip, and your scissors are transformed into a true multi-functional tool.
In practical terms, it acts like a mini-gripper capable of grabbing, clamping, and holding even the most stubborn objects. Handy, isn’t it?
