I am a commercial carpenter and while a pair of these scissors aren’t in my tool pouch, I do have a few very nice Klein Tool ones, and they were not cheap, nor cheaply-made. The point is, if you want the right tool for the job, you would lay out the cash for something that WILL last that long. If I were a tailor or barber, I would full-on buy a pair of these. I am also quite heartened that there is a young fellow willing to persevere to become a MPT. Rock on dude. We need more people like you.

You probably think the phone was 'an investment' too. Even if you penny pinch everywhere your "these specialized tools are too expensive" outlook is why they are so expensive in the first place.

It had its own sheath. He always kept it well oiled and only used it when he had to cut any kind of fabric. It went through most type of fabric like a hot knife through butter. I haven't seen that scissor since his passing. Might actually go and look it up. Edit: I found it, the sheath is gone but it is still sharp as hell, still in great condition for something that is 20+ years old. My father took really good care of it.

I love the sense of heritage with companies like these. They are truly special and are not like your run-of-the-mill 10-dollar ones. These last for a very long time, and that is something that those cheaper scissors will not do. With these, you can hand them down to your grandchildren. My grandmother has one that she bought in the 60s, and it still works perfectly fine and it's in great condition considering its age. I love the idea of something having that type of staying power. Many people wonder who would spend 100 dollars on a pair of scissors, but I would argue that something generational, that comes from human beings, not machines in some mass-produced, cheaply-made factory, is infinitely more valuable and therefore, more special. You just don't see that type of skill and craftsmanship anymore, and that is why it's important to support companies like these, since when they are gone, all that we will have is cheaply produced garbage that we have to buy every year because they break, and that is a horrifying way of living to me.
