Review: Bargain price for a family heirloom - One of the amazing things desertcart has done is to give us all access to the kind of quality-made, built-to-last everyday tools that you used to be able to find in your local corner store. I'm too young to have grown up in that time, of course, but you can see its remnants all around us like artifacts of a lost civilization. These scissors are the kind of tools you will hand down to your children's children. Simple and made to last. They come very sharp from the factory and are easy to disassemble via the central pivot screw when it's time to resharpen them. (Lots of Youtube videos on how to do this.) The slightly asymmetric shape feels very secure in the hand, and the shiny finish and weighty heft make this a very satisfying tool to use. Who knows how much longer anyone will make tools like this?
Review: The BEST scissors I've ever owned! - I wanted a good pair of classic steel scissors. The ones with plastic handles don't last, and I wanted a good heavy pair to use in my home office. I bought these a year ago and they are fantastic! They are sharp, operate smoothly, and make quick work of everything I've thrown at them. I can tell these are going to last a long long time! They are made in Italy and so are not cheap Chinese crap that you get every place else. Get these scissors!! You will be very pleased with them, as I am!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST scissors I've ever owned!
*by C***R on February 24, 2021*

I wanted a good pair of classic steel scissors. The ones with plastic handles don't last, and I wanted a good heavy pair to use in my home office. I bought these a year ago and they are fantastic! They are sharp, operate smoothly, and make quick work of everything I've thrown at them. I can tell these are going to last a long long time!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good sturdy pair of shears
*by M***E on June 22, 2019*

I’ve been asking my wife for a while to buy me shears instead of scissors. I’m a man with big hands- nothing gets me more frustrated quicker than scissors that don’t cut, plastic that bows under tension, and fingers getting stuck (except Tupperware lids that don’t match... why aren’t these universal lids?) So I looked these up and they’re good! Good metal, good cutting the length of the blade, and cuts cardboard easily. I still only use 2 fingers and a thumb to cut, but I can use middle and ring finger and the scissors are balanced and comfortable. Long review for scissors, but help out the men your lives and buy them a quality tool.
