Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My family mocks me for my scissors collection, which I suppose might accurately hint that I take my scissors seriously. There's no more useful or versatile tool, in my opinion, for every room in the house, and I have been eagerly awaiting this pair.
As I had hoped I would, I love them. They are a good weight, but not too heavy. They're well balanced for comfortable use and perfectly proportioned at least for this woman's hand. The slightly cushioned handles makes using them a pleasure even for difficult cutting tasks...but with the traction and sharpness these scissors have, tasks are not as difficult as you'd think they'd be. The blades are close fitted, which is useful for cutting herbs from the plant, as looser fitted shears may mangle and crush stems rather than slicing them cleanly. And I may never use a knife to cut chicken again.
My favorite feature at this point is the ease with which these come apart for cleaning. While I don't believe you could easily separate them accidentally (my hands, at least, are not large enough to do so), all you have to do is open them completely, and, voila, two separate halves for washing and eventual sharpening. I'm not exactly paranoid about it, but I don't much *like* the idea of cross-contamination. It's fabulous to have a pair of kitchen scissors that eliminate that as a worry.
I also like the rounded nose. With the scissors closed, these feel almost (though not quite) like school safety scissors. Their firm fitting means they should not easily open accidentally, and this might help eliminate some careless errors in a room a bit too prone to them.
Given the stainless steel, I expect these to hold up well, but will update if I find otherwise.
