I love my Fiskars with the spring handles, they felt strange when I first started using them, but can't use any other kind of scissors for more than 5 minutes, because of problems with my wrist. Unfortunately, they "redesigned" them to be more "ergomically" correct of which I have a pair and which I have given to my granddaughter. Give me the original designed ones any time. I'm glad that I bought a couple pair before the "redesign".
