I think that Gingher scissors are way over rated they are stiff and heavy with terrible balance to them. Fiskar makes a much better product and more affordable. The harbor freight blades were a waste of good money very dull couldn't cut a thing with them, and way to far to take them back, at least I only bought one package of them. Olfa makes the best rotary blades for the money and they really last provided you don't put nicks in them. Just my two cents worth.
