The scissor would rocket to the top of my tool bag if it were the Freecutter from Junho Jin. The Freecutter combines a box cutter with a pair of scissors to create a [hybrid tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hatchblade) that is useful to both office workers and warehouse workers.

When you're in an office, nobody has a box cutter. When you're working in a warehouse, nobody has a pair of scissors. The Freecutter from Junho Jin subtly marries these two tools into one awesome time- and money-saving combination. This is one pair of scissors worth getting excited for.
