These are great scissors for the money. I've never had a good pair of scissors in my workshop. I bought these to use on a recent carpet project and they worked great. Really helped me do a much better job. Recommended!

This pair is made in Columbia not the usa. But is excellent quality. I have used wiss shears for forty years. And was saddened when they went to a heavier style years ago. But still they are the industry standard for upholstery. These are half price of a normal upholstery supply house. So get them. Extremely high quality

Great scissors - I have been using them to cut very heavy cloth and they make it a simple process. They are very heavy duty and great quality. The placement of the lower blade and the lower finger hole make it easy to cut a straight line in the cloth - the reason I bought this style.

Bought these for my wife for sewing, she loves them, and now her mom wants a pair.

I have a pair of heavy Wiss shears I bought 20 years ago when I worked in boatbuilding. I forget what the model was (long worn off the blades), but they are bigger and nicer finished than these, but they were also around $100. I figured I'd give these a shot for my wife (who usually uses cheap shears), and she loves them. These definitely don't have quite the same fit and finish as my old Wiss shears, but these are still much better than most other shears on the market for a much better price. I've sharpened my old Wiss shears many many times over the years, and these look as though they will be just as resharpenable, the blades appear to be pretty hard.

Highly recommend these for anyone looking for some nice fabric shears without wanting to spend a fortune.

I think these are high quality shears that worked well for my needs. I used to use kitchen scissors to cut fiberglass cloth for surfboard ding repair and the scissors would always create runs and pulls in the cloth. So now that I needed to work in glass cloth again for another hobby, I was determined to find a better solution to cutting the fabric. These shears are large and heavy (but not in a bad way). I chose the smaller 10" version and worried I needed the 12" version. This turned out not to be a problem. The 10" version worked well. My only complaint is that the shears are very stiff in the hinge. I can't tell if it is the hinge itself, or the fact that the shears seem to have a fair amount of pressure on the two blades. That is, they sort of overlap so that when you cut with them, the blades rub against each other as they close toward the tip. They are tight enough that I can barely open them with my cutting hand alone. I oiled the hinge but it didn't do anything meaningful. Maybe they will break in overtime. I wouldn't give them back though as they did an excellent job cutting the fiberglass cloth.
