I have a pair of Kai scissors, and they are and always have been
my favorites. They have been protected (hidden) from large, busy hands and are still sharper than any others I have. I got them at a traveling sewing class, which turned out to be a rather expensive new way of making your own patterns. Turned out to be worth it in the end, even though I didn't tell DH how much everything cost!! I think I got them in the 1980s.
