I often puzzle about why there are factories churning out second-rate scissors when we, as a civilization, have produced these perfect ones:
Every time I go to a friend's house and find crappy scissors, a pack of these shows up at their door. Life is just better with tools that work. (though I do wish that they came in a small size because I also love having small scissors around — maybe these are good? (the bad reviews all seem to be parents freaking out about sending their boy children to school with purple scissors...)
Note: my dad insists that I use a box cutter for opening packages to keep my scissors sharp. I got this two-pack from Home Depot that are easy to flip open and closed, easy to change blades, and even have built in storage for extra blades. I keep the second one in my Advice: Car bin for longer trips.
