My gosh, I bid on old scissors at auctions but I may have ten if that.

My first pair was Ginghers, just had them sharpened last year, but the problem has always been that they don't seem to open and close with ease. Any suggestions. I currently use Friskers, and they cut well and are really sharp, right to the tips. I have scissors marked for paper, tape, etc., and you don't want to see my rage if anyone were to use my fabric scissors for anything else.

I have a pair of embroidery scissors that I absolutely love. They're made by "Galaxy," and they're rainbow colored, like wet oil on a road. They're really just two slim pieces of steel with a spring load. They are so sharp, lightweight, and perfect.

I have always liked Fiskars. I sure don't use them very much since I acquired a rotary cutter, though!
I had a friend that worked in a studio where scissors were thrown around like any other toolbox tool, and he said Fiskars fell apart.
I don't let anyone use my sewing scissors for anything else, so we have a $5.00 pair in the kitchen drawer for everything else. They came from Wal-Mart, and I never expected them to last, but they must be ten years old now. They have a grip like Fiskars.
