Have been using them for a while now. I've seen people complain that they are rusty. I fish in salt water and have not seen any rust/corrosion/wear and tear on these shears. There's a one-year warranty, so use those if they rust on yours. I use brain, mono and fluro. These scissors cut through everything I use like a hot knife through butter. I attached them to a carabiner for easy attachment to a belt loop and carrying in my back pocket. They come to a chord that comes out like a roulette wheel. I found it very helpful.
