Default Lexan Scissors

Just wondering before I buy them...Will curved lexan scissors still cut straight easily? Or should I just get the straight ones? Or do you guys just cut w/ something else?

Thanks a lot,
Jeremy

Cutting straight with curved scissors is going to be very difficult.Personally i score straight edges with a scalpel and metal ruler.

I do all my cutting with curved scissors. They work just fine cutting straight lines!!!
Its all in the angle you hold the scissors at that determines how they cut.
