Forged Scissors
-
Forged scissors are a good purchase if you are looking for scissors that will last your entire life. They are resharpenable, reparable, and contain no plastic or coatings that wears out.
These are made by Fiskars and are stainless steel but you can find some that are made by hand with other steels.
I use these for cutting paper, thread, fabric and thin leather.

Yeah but then how does the stock of the company grow if people only need one?! Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders?!

Fiskars scissors in general are some of the highest quality shit you can get for reasonable price
-
The sharpening for these is particularly easy because you only really have to follow the angles that are already there. Even as a complete amateur I was able to bring new life to an old pair of Gingher scissors
It really is. Since the cutting edge is so obtuse it doesn’t take a lot of work. The angle itself is close to 90°.

on the topic of good scissors i can really suggest this german brand ZWILLING.
my mom still has a pair she inherited from her granddad and she’s in her 70s -
I was NOT a smart child, and i managed to damage a pair of these by cutting the cord on a plugged in device. But otherwise yeah, they last forever!
I’m surprised you weren’t even more damaged!

Most of Fiskars scissors have a plastic-covered (orange) handle. Ones that don’t have them are very rare. And yes, when you see them there’s no way to tell whether they were made in the 1980’s or in 2020’s, because they will work the same and look the same either way.

These werent Fiskars, i think they were another brand listed in another comment (Gingher?) And solid metal sewing shears

Ok, that’s a shocking thing to hear indeed!

my mom still has a pair she inherited from her granddad and she’s in her 70sThose are really nice shears. I have a affinity for all-stainless steel kitchen tools.
If I needed new kitchen shears I’d consider those.

Forgery is a crime. You should buy real scissors.

You can get a permanent reusable buy it for life scissors for each room. Confuses future archaeology but screw those people.

Yeah, apparently it made a pretty solid notch in the blade. My survival of early childhood borders on impressive, they knew my mom by name in the ER

the categorisation as kitchen shears is a bit weird, but they have all sorts of scissors and shears on there.

I have some “stainless steel” kitchen shears that are not only all-metal, but also have the two halves come apart for cleaning. Unfortunately, the nut on the piece that forms the hinge axle is a different alloy than the rest that’s less stainless, so that was a bit of a letdown. If it were welded on instead, it would’ve been perfect.

The bottle opener integrated into the handle is probably why the op assumes they are kitchen shears.
Plus your link is to “kuechenscheren” which translates from the german to “kitchen scissors”.

That’s the name we use in the US for kitchen scissors.

Never done it with Scissors, but have done is twice with linemans pliers, they blew out ~1/4"Ø hole centered on the cutting edges.
It was a little bit too exciting. How did your childhood pants fair?

Fiskars are fantastic. There’s also a Japanese brand that I can’t remember the name of that is also fantastic.
-
Wow! That’s shocking!
Well, I’m sure you’re not the only child to ever do that.
One might say it was a shear heart attack.
