      That's exactly the problem, the scissors you get today are of poor quality and cheap. They want you to come back and buy a new pair in a year. Old scissors were of much higher quality and meant to last a lifetime. It only takes a couple of minutes with a sharpening stone and your old scissors cut like new again.

  • I don't bother anymore because I always end up dropping them when I am running with them.
    • Ice man
      I know what you mean. I've always gotten this incredible urge to run aimlessly whenever I've had scissors in my hand. : )
  • No I've never had the need.

  • Yes, it makes a huge difference!
    • Ice man
      It pays to keep old scissors in good shape. The new ones are junk.
