Professional Opinion
Designed with apprentices in mind: 440C stainless steel that stands up well to the daily knocks of training, backed by a lifetime warranty. Choose 5.5 inches for close, controlled work or 6.0 for general cutting. The ten-trees-per-scissor pledge is a lovely talking point with clients.
