UPDATE: They arrived! I was so excited to try them that I pulled out scraps and began cutting....LIKE BUTTER...from the opening all the way to the tip!! My hand fits nicely in the handles which are cushioned. I haven't tried to see how many layers they will cut thru yet but I loved the way I can use the tips to snip the fabric.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!! I will go back for more when budget allows!!
