Wiss W812S 8 1/2 Home & Craft Scissor

Many, many years ago, I bought my first pair of good fabric scissors and chose Wiss ($17 back in the late 1970's - a lot of money back then). I LOVED those scissors- really comfortable and sharp! - and used them for a few decades. My kids knew that they were NEVER to be used by them for anything. At some point during my move 8 years ago, I misplaced my scissors was had to buy a new pair. Because I wasn't sewing as often anymore (my kids grew up), I bought a cheaper pair to replace them and they are very nice, but not like my old Wiss fabric shears. Recently, I needed a better pair of all purpose scissors that would last longer than the cheap ones that get dull after a 6 months, so I decided to buy a pair of Wiss again. I couldn't be happier!!!! The quality of Wiss products is still wonderful. While I may have paid twice as much for them than a pair of Westcott or Fiscars scissors, I know they are going to last a very, VERY long time and in the long run, will SAVE me money having to replace them as often.
