Two big disappointments. One, it is very hard to cut thread with these snips. Two, on Amazon it stated they were made in the USA. Once I got them, the package said made in China. Would not by them again.

These don't actually cut anything, including thread. The blades do seem sharp but I believe the flaw lies in the poor quality plastic handles. There's barely any spring action becasue all of it relies on the plastic "loop" idea at the back. And the blades can't pass tightly together enough to create the kind of friction to cut something as thin as thread or fabric because there's absolutely no pivot screw or anything :( I'm surprise at Fiskars as usually they make quality scissors. My advise is to save your money on this and put it towards a metal pear of thread snips. Nothing beats metal for cutting things :) Gingher makes a lovely pair and Gingher is now owned by Fiskars.
