What's the brand of your scissors?
Mine are WalWorks Comfort Grip US pat436816 good luck these are about 6 to 7 yrs old. I'm sure you could find something similar. Good Luck!

Scissors make the cut
WalWorks, a division of Zinsser Co., has introduced ComfortGrip Scissors, a new line developed specifically for use on wallcovering, window treatments, upholstery, fabric and craft products. The scissors, crafted from the finest precision steel, are keenly honed to handle the most delicate wallpaper. The substantial blades and adjustable tension also make them ideal for use on thick commercial vinyl and textile wallcoverings, string and grass cloth wallcoverings, heavy-weight upholstery materials including leather, canvas and burlap, and all decorator fabrics. ComfortGrip Scissors are uniquely crafted with slip-resistant cushioned grips and ambidextrous handles with extra-large finger loops. They are available in two blade sizes — 9.5" and 11" — with design features specifically styled for wallpaper and fabric projects.

A pad lock through the finger holes will prevent scissors from opening, Can't open can't cut. carry key on car keys which are always in my pocket. Spare key hidden. Fabric only.

My mother took a class on upholstery and purchased their recommended upholstery scissors. She has since passed away and as the only daughter they came to me. I use them for cutting batting off the roll and for trimming excess batting and fabric from quilts after I have finished quilting them. They are large enough to handle the job easily and hold a sharp edge.

I have some walworks comfort grips that was given to me from a dear passing SIL's husband.. She quilted and he knew the value and quality of his wife's scissors. She had them for years.
