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.

    The sharpening for these is particularly easy because you only really have to follow the angles that are already there. Even as a complete amateur I was able to bring new life to an old pair of Gingher scissors

      It really is. Since the cutting edge is so obtuse it doesn’t take a lot of work. The angle itself is close to 90°.
