NOT THE BEST CUTTING DESIGN

These shears look great and seem like they are going to be great for the job at hand. WRONG! What I found is the reason for the spare blade is because you will never be able to sharpen these as the blade perfectly meets the saddle and if you start sharpening them you will have a problem. On most shears the two blades pass each other such as on a pair of scissors, however on these the cutting blade presses against a saddle a poor design feature in my mind. You may find this to your liking but I didn't. Also noticed that it really takes a lot more pressure to work these than the ones I was replacing because of ware due to age, but I like the old ones better. And even though they are not as good as they were when they were new, I still prefer using them over these new ones.
