disappointed in these and in myself [SEP] i should have paid more attentionthese are extremely cheaply made stamped out of sheet metalthe handles are molded plasticthe center pivot is a rivet so it cannot adjust when it becomes loose except perhaps by banging it with a hammer on an anvilthe cutting scissor blade is only inches long the thinning is only inches longbeing so small these are only truly usable by people with small handsthey are delivered on a cardboard card with all writing in i assume chinese except the words stainless steel suitable for hanging and sake in a dollar storethese are described as usable in a salon i would walk out of a tonsorium if i saw them using these
