If I could've had just one pair of scissors back in my design school days, when we all needed to work with a great variety of materials in a single day, it would've been these Fiskars' Cuts+More Scissors.
In addition to your basic scissoring function, there are cutouts for wire, twine, and even rope:
The sheath has a packing-tape cutter on the bottom edge, and on-board sharpening slots to hone the scissor edges:
A bottle-opening notch will open beers (or what looks to be bottled Windex in the photo) so you can take the edge off before class:
Finally, you can detach one half of the scissors and the other half now becomes a titanium shank. (The company literature refers to it as a knife, but I know a shank when I see one.) Perfect for post-crit score-settling; ask your mouthy classmate if he wants to tell you that "your chair design doesn't seem like a good representation of dialectical materialism at all" to your face.

I saw this video on youTube about it.

This is a really good multitool. What do you use more than needle nose pliers? Scissors. I love the detachable knife. Side note the tape cutter would work better on the pull stroke.
Yesterday I used the scissors for the first time cutting the edges of that horrible clam shell edge that many products are no enclosed in. Was not easy at all, but now the scissors won't close all the way anymore. Titanium blade didn't seem to be as strong as stated on the package.
