Om Vector Saks
Vector Saks kombinerer den veiledende presisjonen til en papirskjærer med allsidigheten til en håndholdt saks. Håndtaket kan presses mot bordkanten, noe som stabiliserer både hånden og bladene. Dette muliggjør en kontrollert, lineær skjærebevegelse der bordet brukes som føring, og sikrer dermed rette snitt med letthet. Omfattende forskning på saksmekanikk, bladorientering og ergonomi resulterte i et raffinert design som forbedrer presisjonen uten å endre den tradisjonelle funksjonaliteten.

- Unike egenskaper
- Vector Scissors introduce a unique blade and handle design that helps users achieve precise, straight cuts more easily. By pressing the ergonomic handle against the edge of a table, both the blades and the user's hand are stabilized. This allows the user to keep the blades fixed while sliding them forward during cutting. The table edge serves as a natural guide, ensuring a straight and controlled cut with minimal effort.

- Produksjonsteknologi
- The development involved multiple physical prototype iterations, including 3D-printed prototypes and clay-sculpted ergonomic handle models. The handle was sculpted and refined by hand, then laser-scanned and reverse-engineered for digital replication. Early production used silicone-molded resin-cast handles with surface treatments for durability, while the latest generation is produced using additive manufacturing, with the option to expand to injection molding as well. The stainless steel blades are precision laser-cut, hardened, and hand-sharpened by a third-generation scissors craftsman in Hungary.
- Designutfordring
- One of the biggest challenges was determining the optimal handle and blade orientation to enable precise straight-line cutting. This required extensive trial and error, with multiple design iterations to refine the right orientation of the blade and the handle. Achieving a balance between functionality and ergonomics was critical, as the form had to strictly follow both. The process involved continuous testing and adjustments to ensure intuitive usability while maintaining the versatility of traditional scissors.
- Forskning
- The research aimed to enhance scissor precision while preserving the versatility of traditional designs. Through user interviews and focus groups, several common challenges were identified, most notably the difficulty of cutting straight lines accurately. Users frequently expressed frustration at the lack of tools that allow for precise, straight cuts without needing a ruler or external guide. Many described the process of cutting straight lines freehand using scissors are difficult and time-consuming, especially for repetitive tasks. To address these pain points, various blade-handle orientations and ergonomic configurations were tested to develop a solution that not only improves straight-cutting performance but also ensures comfort and ease of use. The result is a design that bridges the gap between everyday functionality and guided precision cutting.
- Inspirasjon
- The concept emerged from an in-depth exploration of cutting tools, addressing the common challenge of achieving precise, straight cuts with traditional scissors. Inspired by the mechanics of paper guillotines, which use a fixed edge as a guide, the design translates this principle into a handheld tool. Research into various cutting methods and ergonomic studies informed the development, ensuring stability, control, and intuitive use.
- Prosjektvarighet
- The project started in June 2013 in Budapest and was completed in its initial form in 2014 in Budapest. It was exhibited in the Hungarian Design Award concept category in Budapest (2014) and later showcased at the Semmelweis Museum the same year. From 2016 to 2017, it was part of the Shaping Hungary - Design in the 21st Century exhibition across various locations in Europe. The latest design update started in 2024 in Rotterdam, and was completed in January 2025 in Rotterdam.
- Driftsflyt
- Vector functions like any traditional pair of scissors but offers an additional guided cutting method for improved precision. When used normally, it performs like standard scissors for everyday cutting tasks. For guided straight cuts, users can press the handle against the edge of a table, stabilizing both their hand and the blades. This allows the scissors to slide forward in a straight path, using the table edge as a guide, making precise cuts effortless along the entire length of the table.
