The small micro pair does have a very sharp end and I have used for some applique purposes, but they are not as fine or detailed as regular applique scissors.
I love, love, love these scissors for general cutting and I have absolutely no problem using them for larger applique. I have the 10” pair. My hands never get tired and the handle holes are perfect for my fingers!

My go-to applique scissors. Such control with these, and their serrated applique scissors are great for grabbing the fabric to make sure there are no errant cuts - especially around curves. The finger holes may be somewhat smaller than the KKB scissors, but I feel I have greater hand control with them.
