    Everyone that I know of loves theirs. They even have serrated scissors, I'd love a pair of them.

    I have the Berry set and a light purple one. I love them. Have some snippers that are ok and a rotary cutter that I must be holding wrong as it doesn’t work great. I just need to spend some time with it I am sure! But I really like the Kia brand. I also have Ginghers and FIskers. I love scissors and rotary cutters! Always happy to grab another pair to try out!

    Most of my scissors are serrated. I like Havel and Heritage brand, they are made to last. I like Karen Buckley's scissors but they have rather fragile thin blades. I have broken the blades on them before.

    I love them, best scissors I ever had, I have bought several over the years, including the serrated. Great scissors.

    I have used Ginghers for many years, but just purchased a pair of Kai's. Love them!

    I have a small lavendar pair too. Love them! Unfortunately I used them once as a screwdriver because I was too lazy to go upstairs and get a screwdriver. So now they don’t clip all the way out to the point. So that wasn’t a good idea....!

    Same here. Use them on everything (except paper). :-) Bought them at a quilt show several years ago and they still cut like butter.

    Have Gingers I never use.

    I have one small pair, use for applique,
    they were very expensive. I paid 50.00 for that one pair
    and found a little purple scissors from connecting
    threads had a sharper point and were under 5.00! Oh well
    not sure how long that little purple scissors will last,
    i know the other will last my lifetime..

    I have two pair, and don't know what I ever did without them! Hands down the sharpest scissors I've ever had.
