Man I love how everyone here has all these super nice scissors and yet for some damn reason my 'buy it for life' scissors are a pair of overengineered kids scissors that are bright pink and a bit too small for me that I pinched off my sister in middle school and am still using today at uni age. Behold - the Okut kids scissors. Ten(?) years old with frequent use and they're still sharp enough to slice your finger (which is...worrying for a pair of safety scissors) and solid enough to withstand an awful lot. And they're ambidextrous. Give 'em to your kid and they'll still be using them when they're an adult. If they have small hands.
