First introduced to the world as quality fabric scissors, this design caused quite a stir. Lighter and more comfortable than forged tools, its performance was so good that many a home seamstress declared theirs 'off limits' to anyone else. The same still holds true today. |

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.
I honestly thought I'd never find these again thinking they can't still be in production. But, here they are and I was thrilled to find them and after receiving them seeing that Fiskars hadn't changed anything. They still fit my hand perfectly, are the right length and that orange handle is still easy to find in the junk drawer.
I’ve spent a lot more on scissors that don’t come close to these. They’re a great price for a great pair of quality scissors.
Unlike cheaper scissors, the individual Fiskars scissor blades are completely flush with each other throughout the entire cutting area of the scissors.
The scissors will come oiled when new. You can use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to clean the oil off (which is also a good way to clean the scissor blade of adhesive or dirtiness).
Overall, recommended ($8 or less = buy, in my opinion).

The advert should show all the scissors next to another everyday kitchen item to give a sense of their size in reality
