I hope this titanium coating lasts a long time because these scissors are slippery-good at slicing paper. Compact design that allows the blade to fit back into the handle. Overall very comfortable and efficient tool.
I have always worked with top quality scissors because they make the job easier and safer. I tend to prefer 8” scissors because the cutting area is about 3.5”. With these 7” scissors you can cut only 2”. The scissors were packaged beautifully. The scissors were somewhat stiff upon initial use. They may loosen up over time. I found that only two fingers fit comfortably in the handle so it would be nice to have a finger rest built into that side. The blades are riveted rather than assembled with a screw. The screw would be preferable so that the blades can be adjusted. They cut well with descent leverage. These would be a good purchase for someone with smaller hands looking for budget scissors. And by the way I also have a pair of scissors made by Wescott which are cracking near the screw. So paying more does not guarantee quality.
Very happy with this purchase. Was looking for a pair of scissors to keep on the work bench mostly for cutting paper ribbon twine and these work perfectly for that. Handles are comfortable.
