Product Range
Vern’s catalog includes cutting scissors, thinning scissors, combined/intelligent scissors, and a Super Curve line. The brand’s most distinctive offering is its patented “Intelligent Combined Scissors” system, which allows up to eight individual scissors to combine via a magnetic bridge system, theoretically enabling 55,778 different cutting combinations. The brand also offers a both-handed cutting system designed for ambidextrous use.
The breadth of cutting techniques Vern supports – from point cutting and fly cuts to geometric cuts and disconnected work – reflects this combination-based approach to tool design.
