As with most ebay items the quality is as expected and most of the sellers are very responsive, but I have to say these Surviveware shears are better than expected. They are well made and very strong. The grip is smooth and I get the feeling that I will be using mine for years to come. I had to use mine this weekend when I cut my hand while prepping meat and it easily cut the bandages. I will update my review if anything changes but for now I’m really happy.
