I've used a lot of pairs of scissors in my life. Played with rounded tip scissors early on. Took a Singer sewing class as a high-schooler. Just recently bought a pair at my grocery with which to cut my own hair. But these folks are the best scissors I have ever used. At first I didn't want the two pairs in the package but upon arrival I found it very convenient to have one pair at my writing desk and the other pair in the bathroom for things like opening plastic hermetically sealed packaging etc. Great buy.
