Review on ✂️ Slip-N-Snip Folding Safety Scissors: The Original 13 IN Foldable Shears by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I stick to the quality of what I know.

I bought these from a sewing shop over 30 years ago and loved it so much I came back to buy a pair for my mom. I still have this original pair and they are in great condition but I can't find them so I bought a new pair. While I suspect the old pair is better than the new, I base this solely on my general cynicism about the production. now, not three decades ago. They look and feel the same, fairly sharp, just as accurate for fine work where something needs to be cut close to the surface of the material, and just as easy to maneuver in tight spaces. I originally bought them because they were much better. than other tiny scissors I've used before and I really appreciate the fact that the design prevents the blades from becoming dull for reasons unrelated to use. Nowadays there are all kinds of options released by new brands. But I see no reason to switch to them since I performed so well over the originals - and would still go on if I could just find the damn stuff. Wherever they are - and I will eventually find them - I know they will remain the same as they were decades ago. I have no idea how long these newly made shoes will last but as they are identical to my previous pair I will not try a new brand unless I am certain that this manufacturer has a long history of quality and an established reputation, who needs to be protected.
