The very best scissors are made by a few firms using hot forging techniques, with a strong adherence to traditional method and very careful quality control. The result is a far better tool - one with the necessary strength but a much thinner, lighter weight blade that is hollow-ground by hand. The 4-5/8" long Professional Mustache Scissors are as fine as they get. The blades were all made as a matched set throughout forging and grinding.
