I wish I could give these shears a better rating but, mine weren’t as sharp as expected. I use them daily and clean and oil them like I’m supposed to. They’re a pretty color and they were recommended to me by a veteran hairdresser. She uses hers daily as well and said hers are great and that’s why I purchased them. I need to have them sharpened which is normal at this point but, my review is because mine were never that sharp from the time of purchase. They feel good in my hand, the weight is good for me personally and, when I get them sharpened, I’m sure I’m going to love them because everything else is great about them. They come in a leather case inside a “pajama” covering. I would prefer my shears come in a foam covering inside a hard shear case though. I most likely would not buy them again just because at this price, my expectations would require them to be extremely sharp. I wish I could give a better rating.
