Just received these and I must say I am impressed. I understand the complaint about the action of the shears due to the power notch, but I didn't find that it impacted the precision of my cutting at all. (Reducing the width of pivot slightly did remove this effect too, so the one and two star reviews seems harsh). I am a gadget guy, so I love these all-in-one solutions and I would still call these ingenious scissors a well designed product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a very versatile product, likely one of the most versatile tools I have ever usedand it's `just a pair of scissors'. Really, the Fiskars scissors makes my Swiss Army Knife cry itself to sleep at night. On the other hand, due to a design flaw, the Swiss designers overseas won't be staying up late.
These are very sharp, very well made (except...) and you have many functions such as a wire cutter (my SO has made me replace at least one pair of her "good scissors" for cutting some wire, so this is a great idea!), a little box opening tool (meh), a bottler opener (nice!) , and a little sharpener. And you can take them apart to use as a knife! Not to mention they have a sheath, etc..
Therein lies the rub. The ability to take them apart, combined with the"power notch" makes the come part when you really don't want them to. Oops!
I have a feeling a little tweaking by the design team will fix that. Until thenwatch out for that when using.

UPDATE: They fixed it!!
I officaly retract my old review. I tried these again and they are excellent. My only real complaint (The double contact in the power notch) has been fixed and these are now probably the best utility scissors you can get. I wish I had tried again sooner. I also wish they had gotten it right the first time, but oh well.
I love the design of these. They manage to add a massive amount of functionality with out hindering the scissors, or would have if they had thought it through just a bit further. The problem is the "power notch" this is intended to give you more leverage on a straighter sheer so you can cut rope etc. Unfortunately the profile is all wrong. It does not add as much torque as it should, and more importantly makes the blades double contact at the end of the stroke. Rather than have one sheer point travel smoothly down the blades, when you get to the end of the notch the tip on the black side of the blade slams into the edge of the silver side. This add a noticeable bump in resistance, throws off cuts, and wears down the blade ridiculously fast. I hope that they fix this soon (or that I got one from a bad batch). It is a genuinely stupid mistake which should be simple to fix, and it greatly reduces the value of an otherwise excellent tool.
As for the rest of the tool: The blades are decent steel and fairly sharp (the titanium coating is marketing BS but it does not hurt anything). The pivot is secure, detaches easily and tightens easily. The sharpener in the sheath is brilliant. And the wire cutter will inevitably save the blades at some point (I am an engineer, every pair of scissors I own has been damaged by cutting wires). The handels may be a bit small, but I have big hands. The only other complaint I have is how easily the screw that holds the pivot strips, but that can be replaced.
In terms of concept potential: 5 stars, I would knock one for a few finish issues (The screw and titanium BS) but the geometry on the blade is unforgivable. I will be sending these back, and intend to try again in a few weeks (incase it is a bad batch) and if not again in 6 months, at which point I hope they will have fixed it. I will update if and when it gets better.
Honest reviews on Fiskars Cuts+More 5-in-1 Multi-Purpose Scissors
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I like that these scissors are nice and big. Lots of cutting with minimal effort. However I find the "multi-purpose" functionality more gimmicky than useful. It's too big and bulky to wield comfortably as a bottle opener, and the shape of the handle is just plain awkward for using it as a knife. The built-in sharpener is a nice little toy but is not going to do a serious job of sharpening the blade. I don't like the design of the sheath at all. I find there are too many exposed areas on the sheath that make it easy to slice a finger if you are not careful about how you hold it when pulling the scissors out. Also the tape cutter notch on the sheath handle can very easily get snagged on things.
Despite all these shortcomings, it works well as a pair of scissors. But I think they tried to do too much and all the extras actually serve to diminish the overall usefulness.
