Review: You need these shears. You just do. They are great. The quality of the steel is great for the price ($45 per shear), and they don't dull as often as most store-bought shears of this price. Another thing I have to point out about these shears that I just LOVE is the dual-axial swivel thumb. Let me explain that a little bit about what that means. When looking at the grip of a standard pair of shears, you should notice that the finger and thumb grips are the same shape and orientation. However, this standard grip shape does not fit the natural layout of your hand. This is where the swiveling thumb-ring comes in. As your thumb, which controls the cutting blade of your shears, moves, the rings swivel and compensate the position, decreasing tension and strain on your hand and allowing it to use natural motions.
