Great scissors, they don't have such a reputation for nothing!

I've been trying for ages to find a pair of scissors that claim to be sharp and cut well. I have so many different pairs and brands that none of them compare to this one. They're sharp, they stay sharp, cut straight lines with little to no effort (which isn't easy most of the time because I'm shaking), they feel very comfortable in my hand. I love her! My mum had a pair when I was growing up and she was - and still is, she's had them for about 35 years - incredibly protective, we knew we'dโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Poor set

Hinge concerns

I have several Fiskars over 35 that still work but I need a fallback solution. They have a visible all-metal hinge. Reliable, easy to clean and maintain. Designed in the USA and manufactured in Vietnam, these new models feature a plastic-coated hinge. Metal screw against plastic. There is no way to determine the quality or durability of a hinge or what it is made of. I'm concerned how long they will last. The plastic coated hinge makes it difficult to clean and lubricate the hinge. In fact, oil

Fiskars is at the forefront when it comes to quality and value.

I love good sharp scissors when I need them and there are no better all-round scissors than a classic Fiskars. but none of them come close to the quality of Fiskars scissors. These scissors stay sharp longer and I've never had a loose screw holding the two blades together. I keep a pair in my kitchen, in my workshop, in our office, even in my greenhouse. I use different pairs for fabric and paper, as well as for general purposes like plastic yarn, even flower stems. In this way, the individualโ€ฆ

  • Not sure

Good scissors for the money.

Great shears although they are no longer made in the USA (mine were made in Vietnam). Very sharp, cuts effortlessly, easily cuts through paper and fabric. The hard plastic handle is ergonomic and easy to clean, unlike some other scissors with soft rubber handles. The scissor blades are firmly connected by a central screw, which ensures a precise and comfortable cut. (Cheaper scissors are often less tightly knit and tend to loosen over time.) Unlike cheaper scissors, the individual blades ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine

Really disappointed.

I was so happy when I got my first orange Fiskars. I've been reading reviews for several months; and I'm an avid coupon shopper and just plain paper crazy stationery fan! It seems that I always have scissors in my hands. These scissors are so hard to use; this. Every time you open and close the scissors, there is so much friction that the hand starts to hurt after a few cuts! I couldn't believe how bulky and "unsmooth" they looked! My hand was honestly sore after just one attempt at cutting out

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No achievement

Sharp and durable

These are my second 8 inch Fiskars scissors. My first pair were still going strong after 50+ years until my (now ex) boyfriend decided to use them to cut electrical wire. (The destruction of my favorite Fiskars scissors wasn't the only reason for the split.) I've used these scissors for sewing and paper crafting. My previous shears were in good condition and had never been mis-sharpened and they were still sharp! The new pair (which I've been using for over a year) appear to be of the sameโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
