I have a pair of the 8 inch spring loaded scissors that were given to me as a going away present when I was leaving Hancocks. They cut like a hot knife through soft butter! And the spring loaded part keeps my hands from getting so tired.
As a younger boy I had a pair of clause that I saved up for. My brother used them to trim the roses. They were never the same again... After that I got a pair of mundial and kept a large padlock on them, locking the handles together. Didn't have to worry about them getting ruined. I still have them but need to sharpen them.
