Where to buy
Historical USD guide from the April 2026 catalog entry labeled 5.7 inches. It is not a newly checked quote for maker code 305-57 at 5.75 inches; confirm the exact model and delivered price with the seller.
Where this sits
In Leader's cutting scissors lineup the Leader Firenze Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range band, priced below the Leader Italian Style Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Italy.
Match Firenze code 305-57
The maker’s Firenze specification names a 5.75-inch cutter in 440 steel, with convex sharpening, an ergonomic handle and an adjustable ball-bearing pivot. The steel wording does not specify 440C. Leader’s company profile describes its Italian factory production; it does not establish a precise production-step count for this model.
9 September 2026 correction: replaced the older 5.7-inch size label with the maker’s 5.75-inch specification for code 305-57, and removed unsupported balance and process claims. A regional listing labeled 5.7 inches still needs a code match; it is not a separately verified size. The USD price guide remains historical. The existing image is a Leader brand logo, not a Firenze photograph. This was not a full product review.

Professional Opinion
Use the maker's 5.75 inch specification as the starting point for a fit comparison. The ergonomic handle and adjustable pivot are features to assess on the actual pair, not a promise of neutral balance or effortless cutting.
