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.

    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.

        Yeah, I probably should. It’s not that bad and I’ve got a looooot of stuff ahead of it on my to-do list, though.
