I have a vintage set of Joy scissors that were my Mother's and they have served me well. I will get them resharpened but I have to admit that they aren't my favorites. I purchased a pair of Fiskars dress making shears back in 1967 and after many years of use have finally gone dull. I recently purchased the same new pair and I like them because they are light weight to use with my arthritic hands. They cut with precision and I like them so much that I purchased other sizes for paper cutting to embroidery. I highly recommend them. I sure hope this helps on your selection.
Happy Quilting!!!
