## Description

These are the original famous Chinese scissors that have been often copied, but never equaled. These precision scissors are commonly used in the west for pruning, but are perfectly suited for fine fabrics, general use and bonsai trimming. These are heirloom quality scissors that will last for years. In a recent enhancement, a length of quality tubing has been added to the handles as padding to prevent any soreness to your hands with continuous use. These cushions are not glued on and can be cut off if preferred. About this 350 year old company: Zhang Xiaoquan opened its doors during the Qing dynasty during Emperor Kangxi?s reign in 1663 AD. The brand was designated for imperial use in the Qing Dynasty court and got a special award from Emperor Qianlong. The crafting of these scissors require processes that evolved over three centuries: high-quality steel is set into wrought iron which is then forged and hammered into cutting edges. Next the edges are finely ground with mineral rich mud bricks from the area. You'll find the action to be smooth and sure. The company has received awards for excellence at the Southern Coast Industrial Exposition in 1910, the 1915 Panama Pacific Imitational Exposition and the 1926 Expo in Philadelphia. The age-old forging techniques of Zhang Xiaoquan Scissors have been included in the list of China's intangible cultural heritage. The package includes a sheet with this history and more information. Be sure that the logo cast into the side of the scissors you receive matches the logo printed on the photo to assure receipt of the genuine article and not a similar copy.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good tool, stinks
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020*

These are fantastic scissors but the rubber covering on the handle really smells awful. I set it in the garage for several days and it stunk up the garage! So I cut them off, no big deal. However, that revealed the rough unfinished weld where handle meets blade - they didn't even try to grind it down and smooth it out.Still, they are fantastically sharp and seem very durable, now that they don't stink.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Best. Scissors. EVER.
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020*

These are fantastically sharp and great for everything from trimming dog hair between toe pads to cutting fabric. I’ve had a pair for a few years and just ordered more to have around the house. The originals are still super sharp 🙌🏼

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice and Sharp
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014*

Sharp, basic, and as advertised. Don't expect a fancy pair of scissors, they are constructed well but with no finishing touches unless you want to count the rubber hose covering the metal handles. I took that stuff off and it didn't make any difference in comfort. I think the knowledge that these are being made by a company that's been operating since 1663 AD raises the cool factor by at least 56%. ;-)
