I have Kai scissors, and they are great. I also have Buckley small scissors, love them too. My husband bought me the Bordeaux scissors for Christmas.....OMG they are like cutting through butter. Very expensive I believe.....and then I went to Tuesday Morning....they had several sizes really marked down, so I got those too. You can't go wrong with quality scissors, I like all of the above brands. Bordeaux... I could not believe the Mfg.....Clover. They cut right to the tip..THEY CUT THROUGH 12 LAYERS OF FABRIC! (not that I do)....the only ones that Nancy Zieman uses...and not because she promotes Clover....they do perform. They are reduced at her site today.
