I have to say, I wasn't expecting the scissors to be as good as they are for the price. I am a quilter, or at least trying to be. These scissors are sharp and fit in tight places to get all the extra thread needing to be trimmed. They are very portable and affordable. Portibility is easy with the clear cover that is included with each pair. Receiving 6 in the box, I have them at each of my crafting stations. I use them for trimming vinyl, sewing, cutting small pattern pieces and using a pair to open packages. The only thing I didn't like was the oily feeling when I first opened them. All I did was wipe them down a bit before using.
