these are heavy duty and no slip. I was wonderi g about them at first. as they are black matte instead of nickle. I thoight ya they will be chea. but they are so durable. I was impressed. good cutting. easy on fhe hands for those with hand issues like carpal or arthritis lile me. tou have harx tine grippi g and cutti g. and ve had my share of accide tal fli gs trying to cut. but the texture of these really doez help grip. you will be impessed. ♡♡ em
