Here's my scoop on this idea....if you want'm...go get'm!:)I am a secret scissor collector! I believe in having many of them...all different and all over my house so no matter what...I have a pair at hand!LOL I have a favorite pair that have a super sharp point that I use for any and all handwork..due to the fact it even rips seams better then my seam ripper!LOL I think there are many great scissors out in the world just waiting for us! And, I'd say, if you can see these scissors in person, hold them to the light and open and close them to make sure they they work clear w/o any snags or adjustments....and, if the tips have a great point...the amount of money is perfect!:)I believe if it works for you....it is worth every penny!
