I was pretty amazed to find these specific scissors for way cheaper on Amazon than I had seen on other places. I was concerned that they might not be authentic, but decided to buy them anyways. By all appearances, they are authentic (but I'm not an expert) and have the same box pictured on other websites selling the real deal. There is also the Tula Pink trademark on the side of the blade.
If you are buying these as a gift for someone, be warned that your plastic box may arrive all scratched up and may look trashed by the time it reaches you. I don't know if this is a recurring problem or if it only has happened to me. I don't care much about it either way, but just in case you want to gift someone these scissors, there it is. You can see in my picture how scratched up it was. I've had these and the box for a while by the time I am uploading this review (a month or so with infrequent use), but it looked pretty much the same way when I received it--full disclosure.
These are a weighty pair of scissors, but I like that. It helps your hand to not bob around while you cut your fabric. So far I have cut through cotton sheets, denim, and flannel and it has handled each quite well. The blade is one of the sharpest I have ever used (wayyyy better than my basic Fiskars, I'll say) and is almost as sharp as a rotary cutter blade. It may be as sharp, but I am not for sure. I also really like the rainbow/oilslick finish on it and think it's fun to have a pretty pair of scissors that can get the job done.
5 stars, really pleased with this purchase.
