@SweetSpice.  I have the same trouble but in honesty I cut a lot of paper with mine and have one pair I use to trim my dog's fur.  Both of these materials are known to be murder on scissors.  After a while the paper or hair will just go sideways between the blades.  At this point I pitch them and break out a new pair.

I had the same problem with dull blades. After a while, they won't cut soft plastic bags; like the ones that potting soil comes in.

My sister laughs at me because I have a pair of these scissors in every drawer in my house!  They work well for me.

@SweetSpice .  I bought these several years ago and they are still very sharp.

@cjm61   Me too.  I have been using the same pair forever.

@cjm61   I had the same experience you did...bought them years ago when they came with a smaller pair of scissors.  Both still work great and I use them practically every day.
