"Blunt ends. Though to dull quickly."

— Audrey

"These scissors are so dull that they wouldn't cut paper, much less a dog's hair. I would give it NO STARS if I could. Save your money."

Bottom Line

While the Four Paws scissors offer some useful features, the common complaints about sharpness and fit make it a difficult recommendation. Potential buyers should carefully consider their use and user's hand. The size of the finger holes is particularly problematic for those with larger hands, a detail that could be especially frustrating, and lack of properties such as ice durability makes these scissors unsuitable as a blunt instrument for its priced value. Therefore, investigating alternative high value scissors is advised.
