The plastic handles aren't nearly as durable as the titanium blades.
I like to have scissors in a kitchen drawer, in my desk drawer, in my nightstand, in the bathroom, in the garage, in my storage shed, in my Winnebago -- well, you get the idea. These seemed like the perfect solution -- good scissors at a low price. Well, it's been three months and they work just fine, but I discovered the other day that the plastic covering the handle behind the hinge on the pair in the kitchen draw is broken. I don't know how it happened, but I don't recall trying to cut anything other than the plastic bags that my prescriptions come and similar materials. No cardboard or rugs or sheet metal -- nothing other than lightweight materials that you'd expect to cut with any ordinary pair of scissors. I tried to return them, but the Amazon website says that they're no longer eligible for return. I'll try something else next time.
Updated, 3/12/17: My wife tried to trim some threads on the edge of an old dish towel this morning and the second pair of scissors broke into two pieces when the plastic holding the pivot screw snapped. As you can see from the picture, the plastic holding the blade is also cracked. I guess the titanium blades would still make pretty good ice pics, but when was the last you needed a pair of ice pics?
