I have another brand of EMT scissors and use them for our culinary operations, for nylon sous vide bags and wrapped product. I found these scissors and the work even better with the coating and have the large holes in the handle that the scissors fit my fat fingers. I like them so much that I purchased more. For the price they beat the expensive of kitchen scissors in quality and staying sharp for a very long time and if they get dull, toss them and get another.
