Farberware Edgekeeper Stainless Steel Shears with Black Handle Sleeve with Built-in Sharpening

I cancelled my order in the end because I limped through without it. But, Walmart pick up saved me the time of going in the store on a very busy day of I had needed these items.

I could be a little sharper than what they are when you get them. I'm not impressed with the so-called sharpener that comes with it, but they will work good and I have a surprise not bad.

They are scissors and of course they cut. But I wish both sides of the scissors had the same design so the sheath could slide on in either direction. The different design on the back makes it less easy to slide the sheath back on quickly.

Overall, the scissors are as expected: nothing fancy but usable. The major demerit comes from the blades not engaging each other enough to cut for 1/3-1/2 of the blade. Once it is closed enough for the edges to contact each other, the scissors are reasonably sharp and effective. Unfortunately the tip end of the blade is also the area of the least mechanical advantage, so any materials that require more force will require just that much effort from the user. As there is no adjustment mechanism, you are stuck with what you get. Until I can find a better pair of scissors, it's marginally useful for easy work.

Scissors are dull regardless of any attempt to sharpen. Will not cut paper so I have not tried any material. I would not recommend this product

This is the worst scissor I have ever bought. My 10 year old pair that I was hoping to replace are way sharper and more useful. Had I not thrown the packaging away I would have definitely returned them. The sharpener did not help at all, however it did sharpen my old pair, thus the one star.

I bought these because of low price, trying to save some money. the scissors stick and I have to work with both hands to get them open. Now I can feel and hear the blades grind as I open and close them, and they seem to catch just before they jerk open, not a smooth movement. I mostly use them to cut up salad greens, no meat, nothing thick. I have cut the top off of a frozen food item bag. I don't like the sharpener, I watched the video and the blade comes away with bits of the red plastic on it. the scissors also are hard to push in and pull out of the sleeve. Wishing I had bought the ones that you can take apart [ saw those on another site]. I hope I can get a refund from Faberware.

Terrible, flimsy, cheaply made scissors that are way over priced. Terrible quality plastic. These will not last. Nothing strong about these scissors.

Painful on hands while cutting. Hard cheep plastic. Good for cutting paper, nothing more. Would not recommend.

They broke and got dull with the first meat cut.
