Hi

I don't think you can beat Fiskars - I used them all the time when I was doing professional soft furnishings

Cheers

Can anyone tell me where I can buy these scissors on the www, and do they come in different sizes?

I use the Fiskars soft touch (http://www.jaycotts.co.uk/acatalog/Fiskars.html) as they make cutting out easier, just personal preference.

I have Wilkinson stay sharps. they have there pown self sharpening holder. Anyone in this house touches them on pain off death. If they go to use them on paper I go nuclear on them. :mad:

I love my Fiskars. I also use an Olfa rotary cutter for a lot of things.
