Good for price
For the price compared to superior brands, this isn’t a bad deal for $15. As you see in the picture the manufacturing is slightly less than perfect with the imperfections in the cutting parts. They feel ok in the hand, the grips are a little bulky, but not a deal breaker. They feel tough enough. The handles move pretty freely.
