Wasan Gold Plated Dragon and Phoenix Relief Design Bonsai Scissors, Chinese Shears Household Traditional Scissors for Sewing, Art Craft, Food Paper Cutting - 2 Packs (5" and 6")

This design seems to be the scissors du jour as we're beginning to see them crop up everywhere. My wife had mentioned that she wanted a pair so I did some researching, found these and ordered them. Why these? Because (a) they were the best value I found at two pair for fifteen bucks, (b) they were advertised as being stainless steel and that means they won't rust, and (c) they looked very nice. I was not disappointed on any of those counts and my wife absolutely loves them. They have a great feel - especially if you're a leftie like she is. They are very sharp, cut easily and cleanly and are several steps of quality ahead of where you would expect them to be for the price. I realize stainless steel isn't the hardest steel out there and if I was overly concerned about maintaining an edge I would probably have looked for carbon steel blades, but I can sharpen them much easier than I could bring back a finish if they rusted and pitted so, for us, stainless was the way to go. I didn't actually see any similar scissors advertising carbon steel blades anyway so it may in the end be a moot point. We have all sorts of scissors around the house - from Fiskars to dress making rollers to dollar store cheapies - but you're going to find these in our top drawer for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they are every bit as easy for a left-handed person to use as they are for right-handed people. This has been one of our most satisfying purchases in terms of value for price and we would very highly recommend them for anyone looking for a really nice pair of scissors.

Great value. Good weight to them. Sharp. Easy to use with large openings for fingers. Attractive with the gold design. I like their performance very much. Highly recommend these scissors.

Pros:• Sharp• Strong materialCons• NoneAdditional Notes:I use these scissors around the kitchen for cutting meat and vegetables. They are definitely strong and sharp enough for the job. Although likely not recommend, I use a knife sharpener on them to get the EXTREMELY SHARP.

These are beautiful but they don't cut well

Small, sharp and cute!

These were a little tight right out of the packaging but they are easily adjustable with the flathead screw. I'd recommend oiling them in the hinge as well to make them last. Great to have a little one also, so bow I have these two added to my collection of three so far.

Nice appearance, really sharp, excellent for leather working with primitive vintage scissors.

These scissors are a great deal and are beautiful in person. I tested them out on washi tape, magazine paper, cardstock, cardboard, thread, and lightweight fabric. Neither scissor had issues with any of those materials. The larger size works great for straight cutting, the smaller pair was better for fussy cutting. Definitely recommend!
