Signs of quality in scissors
A good pair of scissors should cut easily and retain its cutting performance for a long period of time. Scissors made by J.A. HENCKELS INTERNATIONAL meet these criteria without reservation. High-quality scissors bear the following characteristic features.

1. The finish
A good pair of scissors has a smooth, neatly ground, brushed or polished surface. Care is devoted to the grinding process in manufacturing.

2. The form
The points must fit well when closed so that it is possible to cut with the tips only. Well fitted blades lie on top of each other when closed.


3. Closing force
A pair of scissors should open and close easily. The necessary closing effort must be even. This applies to the whole length of the cutting edge when the scissors are wide open until they are completely closed.


4. Honing finish
The cut of high-quality scissors must be soft and even. This is achieved by ensuring that the scissors blades are honed well.


5. The eye rings
The eye rings are the working surface for the fingers. They must be formed so that the hand never tires. The inside of the eye rings must be even and free of burrs.
