Fiskars Forged Scissors - 8" Stainless Steel - Paper and Fabric Scissors for Office, Arts, and Crafts - Silver

Great pair of scissors. Heavy, well manufactured and sharp! You will keep those forever and they will last forever of course

These scissors are perfect for general use (and probably semi-industrial use as well) providing a strong and durable set of shears that will last a long while. The handle is about as comfortable as all-metal scissors like these get. They were very reasonably priced and were far cheaper than many other products that I found of similar design. Cutting is very easy and they are well assembled with no rattles, shakes, or anything of that nature. They arrived securely packaged (referring to the product packaging, not the shipping box although that was fine). Everything arrived undamaged and ready to use. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking for a nice set of sturdy, general-use scissors for the home office, kitchen, garage, home workshop, etc.

I try not to buy anything in plastic if I can avoid it; I am done buying plastic handled scissors. Fiskars is a well known brand (my mother always bought Fiskars) and these scissors live up to the name. They are not too heavy, but much more substantial than the plastic handled kind and they are stainless steel so they are worth taking to the sharpener to have sharpened.

These scissors are not for the faint of heart, these are the kind of scissors you can protect yourself with. If someone was breaking into your house while doing arts and crafts you are now armed, and this scissor will make quick work out of them like a piece of paper. In addition, it cuts paper well, like the flesh of your enemies. Though, if you have weak hands or have wrist problems these scissors are quite hefty, which makes them great for stabbing, but not good for your weak hands and wrists. So if you got big meaty claws, err I mean hands, these will work great for you. Perfect for making paper snowflakes for the winter. I would not recommend using these as kitchen shears though, but they do cut well. For fun, I cut some sheet metal with it, so it can cut metal but you may have to sharpen the scissors if you do this a few times.

Pretty nice scissors for the money. The binding pivot nut was a bit tight, but I was able to loosen it and now it's ok. I have some really really nice scissors that are hand set, and these are not them. But for light paper duty, without cheap plastic handles, machine sharpened, and machine pivot bolt set, these are ok.

Nice sharp and sturdy!

The first difficult task I tried was dreadlocks on my dogs privates. She don't like you messing around so I have to be stealthy. These shears cropped her without her knowledge. I then had some 3/16" leather to cut which I had to do with just the tip of the shears and to my surprise they cut through like butter. I know that with every breathing moment I have left on this earth I will own a pair of these shears.

I use these for cutting our Bucilla felt stocking parts, some of which are extremely small and detailed- they are excellent for this purpose. I highly recommend them!
