I love my Gingher scissors but I have some I love just as much. If you have a fishing store like Cabella's or Bass Pro Shop in your area they have wonderful scissors that fly fishermen use for about $10. They are called Dr. Slick's. Much less expensive and they are wonderful. The openings for your fingers are also bigger than Ginghers which make them very comfortable. Dr Slick buys from Pakistan where most of these scissors come from. They take them apart and hand sharpen each one individually. Try them, you'll be hooked.
