I am a BIG fan of Singer scissors but not this one at all. I'm still using the same Singer sewing machine I got in 1968 and with my faith in Singer, I purchased a pair of scissors a while back because the expensive scissors were not working for me. The Singer scissors were terrific and I gave all my others away. I purchased another of the same and then 2 other Singer scissors and of the 3, these were my least favorite. It could be because of the blunt tip.
