Forged scissors are a good purchase if you are looking for scissors that will last your entire life. They are resharpenable, reparable, and contain no plastic or coatings that wears out.

These are made by Fiskars and are stainless steel but you can find some that are made by hand with other steels.

I use these for cutting paper, thread, fabric and thin leather.

    What stores carry these? I’ve looked for scissors at various local stores in the US and never saw this type.

      Have you tried craft or hobby stores.

      If there’s a fabric section of a store they might carry these. I believe this style was originally used for cutting fabrics.
