Sharpness and Cutting Ability

  • "Super sharp and does not dull easily!"
  • "These scissors are comfortable to hold and use. They are really sharp!"
  • "The stainless steel blades are not only incredibly sharp but also durable, ensuring a clean and precise cut every time."

Cons:

  • "These scissors seem sharp enough but they are very uncomfortable."
  • "They can cut decently but are absolutely miserable to use with wrapping paper."
  • "These scissors were very hard to squeeze to cut, and only cut along half of the blade."
  • "The scissors are very stiff to use. If you have dexterity issues, do not buy."
  • "I dislike these scissors, they are very tough and sticky to open and close."
  • "These scissors are not sharp and cannot even cut paper easily... Total waste of money."
  • "These scissors are awful. They don’t cut."

Comfort and Ergonomics

Pros:

  • "These scissors have a nice comfortable handle and are large enough so your hands do not get stuck inside of them."
  • "These seem to be easier to use with a larger area to fit my fingers into."
  • "The comfort grip handles make them comfortable to use for extended periods."
  • "I use them for everything. I just gave my husband a haircut with them and they are sharper than all my other scissors."
  • "They are beautiful to look at in a variety of colors to boot."
  • "The coated handles are great for arthritis sufferers."
  • "Comfortable grip and sharp cuts."

Cons:

  • "The grips go straight-through, they are not contoured to fit your hand at all."
  • "Something about the angle of the thumb space is off and the knuckle of my pointer finger gets stuck in the finger space."
  • "Although they are ergonomically shaped, there is not much padding so they are somewhat painful to use."
  • "The handle is not ergonomic whether you are right or left-handed."
  • "Tend to rub on my index finger in one spot, but otherwise great."
  • "They're not good for fabric or precision work and tend to leave a ragged edge on delicate paper."
  • "The handles only got 4 stars because they're not the most ergonomic. If I have to cut a lot at one sitting, my hand starts to cramp."

Value and Longevity

Pros:

  • "Great value for the money (3 scissors), I even gave one to my neighbor and still had enough for myself."
  • "I recommend these scissors, they work great for a variety of different tasks, and seem like they will last a good long time."
  • "I am also confident that these are a high enough quality that I can get them sharpened and use them for many years."
  • "We still have all 3 original pair and they work great."
  • "It's a lot cheaper than what you would find at the store and a little better quality."
  • "They would be a steal at twice the price! I am extremely happy with my purchase."
  • "For the price, it's a great deal."

Cons:

  • "I bought some at walmart for the same price that way better quality but I lost them during Christmas wrapping season."
  • "These were a bit cheaper than a similar 3-pack of Fiskars I bought a couple years ago. Now I know why."
  • "When I first got these they worked great! After only a few weeks of use all of them are dull."
  • "Only one pair of three was good. One pair didn't work along half its length. Another was mediocre."
  • "I thought I was getting a real deal with three pairs of scissors at this price, but even after attempting to sharpen them on my own, I often struggle to cut anything but plain paper."
  • "These are better than that. For now."
  • "Already one pair of scissors has broken."
