Answer

What are the best Concept scissors?

The CP-45 is the 4.5-inch cutting model. The CP-50 is the 5.0-inch option. Both are catalogued at US$150 through Takano Canada.

Concept is carried exclusively through Takano Canada. The CP-45 and CP-50 differ only in blade length — 4.5 and 5.0 inches respectively — at the same price. The shorter 4.5-inch blade suits detail and precision work; the 5.0-inch is a standard general-purpose length.
