I compared this with our Scotch titanium scissors and I can feel the Westcott is not as smooth when cutting and a bit stiffer when opening and closing

In fact, they made an extremely precise cut with absolute ease

You won't want to use them to cut fine fabric, and they won't work for intricate paper cutting

I didn't find the pull enough to be a full snag that impairs the cut, but it is noticeable

They might not be the scissors you'd want to use for long, repetitive cutting jobs, but they are very sharp out of the box, and cut through 4-6 sheets of paper with no difficulty

If you want precision or a perfectly sharp cut, you need to look elsewhere, but if you need those types of scissors chances are you already knew that.

Engagement between the scissor halves is good and I was able to make full, clean cuts along the entire length of the blade without any problems
