As usual, the Amazon doom an gloom reviewers initially scared me off. I had a pair of these that were at least twenty-five years old, and the blade had FISKARS USA etched on them. Sadly I tried to cut something that was too thick and the handle broke. Attempts to glue it failed, and these had always been my favorite pair of scissors. Well, in spite of those negative reviewers, I ordered these, and you know what? They were the SAME! A quarter of a century later, the only difference was that it had a phillips head screw on the hinge and the USA engraving was gone. Other than that, they feel and cut like the old ones, and they look like the old ones. It's like having my old pair back, so for right now, I'm VERY happy.

Fiskars are on the cutting edge when it comes to quality and value.

I love a nice sharp pair of scissors when I need one, and there are no better all-purpose scissors than a classic pair of Fiskars.

I have used other brands, both more and less expensive, but none have matched the quality of Fiskars.

These scissors remain sharp longer, and I have never had the screw that attaches the two blades become loose.
I have a pair in my kitchen, in my workshop, in our office, even in the greenhouse.

I use different pairs for fabric and paper, as well as for general use such as twine plastic, even flower stems.
This way, the separate pairs for fabric and for paper stay sharper longer.
The general use pairs are replaced more often, but the cost of replacing them is reasonable.

When it comes to a sharp clean cut, I find that Fiskars does the job best.

Very Sharp - Great for Sewing

I am an avid sewer and am very particular about my sewing scissors, as any sewer knows. I use one pair of scissors for just fabric - nothing else! My family knows this - or at least I thought they did. Someone, the culprit has yet to be apprehended, used my sewing scissors to cut something that left a nick in the blades - AHHHHHHHHHHH - I didn't find out until I went to cut out some very expensive silk and the cut was ragged and actually snagged my silk. After the rage I decided to order a new pair of scissors. I like the Fiskars brand, my previous scissors were Fiskars so I knew I couldn't go wrong. I actually ordered two pair - one razor edge pair for denim and leather and this 8" pair for lighter fabrics.
1. The handle was comfortable and didn't cause indentions in my hand.
2. They were very sharp and cut through my fabric like butter!
3. They have stayed sharp through repeated use
I highly recommend these scissors - I have since used a label maker to mark these as sewing only and given my family a very strong warning to StAY AWAY.

Sometimes the classics are all you need. These scissors cut well, have decent heft -- not flimsy at all -- and have met all my expectations for cutting. While I purchased these for 'all purpose' use; if cared for -- they would do well in the sewing room.
For the reasonable price -- you can't beat these Fiskars -- no use wasting money on dime-store quality scissors which are not as sharp and break too easily.
This is a pair of scissors to last you for years to come.

These are my Go-To kitchen shears/scissors. Right now I have several pairs. My fancy, expensive, heavier pairs mostly just roll around in my miscellaneous drawer. I need multiple pairs of Fiskars in the kitchen because they disappear to other rooms and have to be rounded up occasionally. Fiskars 8 inch Original Orange Handled Scissors do it all. My friend Suzanne who is a librarian wrote 'Do Not Lose' on my oldest pair in industrial strength marker. It was a joke at the time - but not really. That pair is kept in a separate drawer and still comes up missing sometimes.

I cannot tell you how much I love having a nice set of sharp fabric scissors all to myself. There's something immensely satisfying in making a little starting snip and then being able to just run the scissors forward as they effortlessly shear a line through material. I've hidden them away from the children, and keep them as a secret indulgence all to myself. Let them have the blunt tipped school scissors.

What can you say. If you need high quality scissors at a price that makes quality affordable, this is your best choice. These are general purpose scissors that I use everyday for everything from cutting paper to opening packages. The scissors come out of the package very sharp and they stay sharp. What else can you say, if you're looking for solid, high quality scissors at a price that makes them a very good value, Fiskars is your best bet.

They cut things up.

They're Fiskars... what can you say? My mom had these when I was growing up, they're iconic. They're super sharp, and they cut things.
