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.
The very best spring loaded scissors are Heritage Rag Snip scissors. They are the best quality scissors of this type I have used. DH was so impressed with them he bought a pair for household use.
