I have been afan of Zwilling shears for a long long time and i would only ever recommend them over anything else. you know them you probably have them the red circle with the 2 men is the give away! well, when I went to buy another pair these popped up in the search too so i did some reading and decoded to give them a go..Pricey but OMG they feel so good in your hand, they work well for both left and right handed people and they are the prettiest scissors I have ever owned. If you like good scissors, you know ones that cut smoothly and effortlessly, then stay with Zwilling and know that these are worth every little bit more than the regular ones... tho I still have and use those throughout the house... These are mine!
