They are so PRECISE, that I can cut one thread at a time, while cutting squares from my cotton quilting fabrics. They are emblazoned with the JoAnn Trademark name, and the words stainless steel CHINA. When I loaned them briefly, I say: "Watch out, they are SHARP and will take a finger off."

Good information on how the scissors are made and all reviewers give them 5 stars.
