I really like these scissors. It cuts through almost anything, especially fabric where other scissors fail. Ideal for household chores. That. They're scissors, they don't make a long, smooth cut, but if you want to quickly cut through an old t-shirt to turn into a polishing cloth, they work great. They're not particularly comfortable. The modernist "Transformer" style plastic grip is rough on the sides of the thumb and the thumb hole could have been a bit larger. Also, the blade guard is almost useless without some sort of belt or pocket clip. Protecting the blade or yourself from the blade only makes sense if the scissors are thrown freely in the gear bag. Disappears every time you delete it without an opportunity to save.
