William Whiteley's Wilkinsons are better and have a longer pedigree.

These look really nice too, no plastic handles! Definitely look like BIFL too! Gonna get a pair of these too!

I own a couple pairs of these and while they’re amazing quality and will last forever they’re fussy and need frequent adjustments and oiling of the joint. The kitchen shears are good as an all purpose pair (I think they’re called turnton) but unless you’re going to be very careful with them the rest are really only for careful use for sewing and tailoring.

OOOoh, those look nice! No plastic handles either, they definitely look like BIFL scissors! Thanks for the link, a pair of these is on my list now!

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find these.
