I really like these, but I can't comment on longevity and it came slightly blemished and wet.<br /><br />CASE<br />These come in a nice leather (faux?) case that zippers open and closed. The case has a nice velvet like slip that fits in the middle of both scissors to prevent them from clanking against each other. On each side are little elastic bands that are to hold the scissors to the side of each case. I really like this case because it will keep the scissors safe, together and help prevent me from misplacing them.<br /><br />WRAPPINGS<br />The scissors come in a plastic wrapper that are shaped like the scissors. These were really flimsy but I don't think (and don't hope) they were meant to last because they were really flimsy. I just threw these out cause they were so thin. If it didn't come with the nice case I would have knocked off a star but I do think they were just for the packing purposes.<br /><br />QUALITY<br />I can't complain. They are sturdy and have a good weight to them.<br /><br />THEY WORK<br />The scissors do a good and very quick job of cutting hair. It's really sharp and quick. There's a sturdiness to them and there's these small plastic/foam balls between the parts that your fingers hold. It prevents you from snapping the scissors too hard when you close them. It makes for a really nice cutting expereiences, very smooth.<br /><br />The thinning shears do exactly that. I love the combo together.<br /><br />WET?<br />I don't know why but the scissors were slightly wet? Is it some kind of oil? No idea but thought I'd put that out there cause it was weird.<br /><br />BLEMISHES<br />I had to take out a star for this. There were blemishes, kind of like old metal makrs, but these seem new so I'm a bit confused. They don't look rusty or anything though so not too big a deal, but hey you're buying something new. Should be mint condition.<br /><br />OVERALL<br />I'd buy these again as they are functional and I REALLY like the case.<br /><br />Note: I got these at a discounted cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. That discount has no sway in what I say!
