You can find these styles of scissors at antique stores or eBay for a few dollars. They may just need some cleaning and sharpening. I use an old pair of Griffon ones and repainted the handles. They work great. Just another option For those that didn’t want to spend that much.

Mig_66Wish that were true for me, I've had no luck finding decent ones locally at decent prices (and believe me when I say I don't mind fixing up old stuff like this, i'd actually prefer that. In fact, I just sat down after putting in 5 more hours on restoring a 100+ year old drill press for fun today......so, when I say not decent I mean like broken tips, huge chips, pivots that can't be tightened short of drilling out the old hardware, cracks at the handles.... Really un-salvageable stuff, or it's the same price as new if in decent shape 🙄)
And I can't get past being leary about issues that don't show in pics on ebay for some reason

Mig_66That's true, but they're going to be from china. So they won't keep their edges as long and will rust easier. It just depends on whether you want the cheapest thing to get the job done or if you want to get the job done with some quality.
