These Scissors May Prove To Be OK

Was wandering aimlessly through the fishing-tackle aisles of a local Walmart store yesterday while my wife shopped when I happened upon a pair of scissors like the ones in the accompanying photo.

I really haven't been looking for a pair because, after trying countless other pairs, I had come to the conclusion that no one has yet figured out how to make a good pair. That point is readily apparent with just one look around our home. Failed models are strewn throughout.

This particular pair of Cuda 5.5-inch braid shears, however, grabbed my attention. The packaging made note of the fact these titanium-bonded, 3X-harder-than-steel, dual-serrated blades stay sharper longer. And the grips have a non-slip scale pattern.

The recommended care for this tool is to rinse it after each use with fresh water and dry, using a clean towel. Sparingly apply a lightweight oil to the hinges or joints on a regular basis.

Best of all, these Cuda shears come with a lifetime warranty, which reads as follows: "At Cuda, we believe our legendary products should be supported by an equally legendary promise. If your Cuda product fails to perform its intended use, due to defects in materials or workmanship, we will replace it, regardless of age. Normal wear, sharpening, industrial use or abuse, misuse or neglect is not covered. Send the product in its original box for proof of purchase, along with explanation of defect. You may have other rights, which may vary from state to state."

Just in case these braid shears prove to be worth the $6 I paid for them, I picked up a spare pair today.
