This is my third pair of straight blade scissors.  I've had lots of requests for this type of scissors but with a smaller blade.  So, here they are.  They are great for cutting templates (freezer paper, Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Heat Resistant Plastic), fabric and fabric with fusible stabilizers.  The blades are stainless steel.  The handles have the same soft, ergonomic grip as our other Perfect Scissors™.  They cut sharp to the point and come with a plastic protective cover.  Great for both right and left hand cutting
