These scissors are beautiful, but they're not the most functional. They're definitely a little "sticky" — but they're definitely vintage! The main reason I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 is that it took 6+ weeks for them to arrive. I hadn't realized they would take so long to ship out, and after a couple weeks followed up and learned it'd be another month before they were expected to be back in stock. I went back and checked my receipt and the website but never saw any mention of delayed ship...
