<![CDATA[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.

Great for vegetables. Tired of chopping (just about anything that fits in scissors)? Scissors!

If there’s a fabric section of a store they might carry these. I believe this style was originally used for cutting fabrics.

Back when I was like 10 or 11, I was getting serious about RC cars. And I needed a pair of ‘scissors’ that would be strong enough to cut plastic sheet. The hobby shop guy was like, well, we have this one pair of cutting shears that’ll last you for life, but they’re kinda expensive. They were $10 in 1980s dollars - I thought I was getting fucking robbed, but paid it because I needed them. I still have & use them, they rock (could use a sharpening at this point though). Made by Fiskars, which I see is the same as in OPs photo.

So yeah, I don’t see Fiskars often here in the states, but when I do, I buy them if it’s a tool I think I will want to keep. At this point, anything I buy from them will outlast me.

I’ve looked for scissors at various local stores in the US and never saw this type.

If it cuts material that’s more substantial, we’ll call them shears.

“Kitchen shears” “garden shears” “metal shears”

People also praise their splitting axes. Apparently they have a really good warranty.

It was a little bit too exciting. How did your childhood pants fair?

Plus your link is to “kuechenscheren” which translates from the german to “kitchen scissors”.

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.
