55848 8-Inch Titanium-Bonded Scissors For Office and Home, Black/Gold, 4 Pack

Review for "Westcott 55848 8-Inch Titanium Scissors For Office and Home, Black/Gold, 4 Pack" I'm definitely not a connoisseur when it comes to scissors. Either they cut well enough, or they don't and I find a different pair that does. After a while I got tired of always having to see if we had other scissors around because none of them were cutting well anymore. And then I had the crazy idea that maybe I should just buy some decent new scissors and get rid of the junky old ones that didn't cut properly anymore. So I spent entirely too much time looking through all of the scissors on Amazon, weighing prices and features and reviews that you never know if they're real or not (yes, this is a real review). And I decided on these. They're fairly cheap but they didn't look especially cheap, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. And when I got them, they were so... honestly, cheap feeling. They just don't have much heft to them. The metal seems a bit thin. The plastic handles are comfortable but don't look like they were made for longevity. The saying "looks can be deceiving" was never so true. These are great scissors. They cut really well, without fail. They are incredibly sharp. If you do something stupid like I did and use them for the wrong purpose, you'll find out just how sharp. I sliced my finger almost to the bone. They work lefty or righty and the handles are sturdier than they look. I don't remember exactly when I bought them but it's been at least 6 months and they see a fair amount of use, and there's no indication that they'll work any less well with time. And with four pairs, I don't see myself ever having to buy scissors again. Well worth the price.

When it comes to having a readily available set of scissors, they always seem to be missing in my house. I got tired of searching around for one or two pairs, and finally bought this set. These are sharp, cut clean, and light weight. They're sized right for most adult size hands and give a nice tactile gripping surface to keep them from slipping. These get used for just about any job around the house and perform excellently. They wash easily and have performed well without any issues.

Bought for a craft get together. These were perfect gifts to put in craft bags. They are sharp, stick free and Westcott...what more is there Would buy again if needed. Great price for 4 pair of good quality scissors.

Great value for two scissors.

Purchased the Westcott 55847 8-Inch scissors 2 pack. Works well. Sturdy, cheap, gets the job done. Have had these for about 10 months now and they are holding up fine. We use them 5-6 times a week and have not had to sharpen them yet. Have washed them repeatedly with no issues or signs of rust (make sure you let them dry before putting them away). These fit adult and teenager-sized hands. Handle is black, metal part is gold/brass color. I have not tried to cut cardboard with them many times, but they have worked fine on thinner pieces (such as typical Amazon boxes).

Sharp blades but weak construction. Good for cutting paper and other very light duty types of cutting. Good deal for the price I paid, so for certain purposes, I do recommend them.

Excellant pair of scissors, super sharp.

These are great quality scissors. They are just as described. I would purchase again if I ever have the need for more than the 2 you get.
