Are the blades of the scissors serated? The serations on the last bought made it painful to use to cut fingernails, need smooth blades!

The scissors are not serrated on Victorinox knives. There is two companies the make Swiss army knives. Victorinox and Wenger. I believe they are both owned by Victorinox. Wenger scissor blades are serrated. Hope this helps.

I bought the knives as a gift for my daughter. I was very disappointed in their cutting ability. I don't know if sharpening them would have even helped! I have Cutco knives which I purchased at least 40 years ago and I have never had to sharpen them.

Yes they are sharp. I have had mine since may with no issues, a matter a fact I just used them before responding to this. Great product

My scissors have been stored for a year. One 2 years, bought second and also would not work after a year. What i"m wondering is why I paid only $20 for each one of these and now they cost over $90.00. Why ????? Nita

the real reason is because the edges break and chip like crazy. This is a gallery of 3 of our knives, one new and two we have had for a very long time. No, before anyone asks, they were never sharpened wrong (at least not with any of those terrible carbide sharpeners, only diamond rods.) and while these still cut, they aren't supposed to be serrated like that. http://imgur.com/a/WUzS6

Very good question...I don't know..hadn't thought much about that. I am having a hard time using the scissors.

I think they will do, but you will probably deteriorates the blades quickly. Use scissors that are made for metal, see in your hardware store.

Absolutely! I am not sure if we are supposed to, but it was near by and my scissors weren't cutting - they work just fine now, in fact I have touched up all my kitchen knives as well as our pocket knives.

Haven personally use the knives to cut, but they are not the usual jagged knives type...from the feel of it...it look pretty sharp! (almost cut my fingers while admiring it), hope this helps!

They are sharp - they are not rounded. But I should add - I got them for my daughter at 15/16 months. She's been playing with them without issue. They aren't needle point sharp. I don't see them 'stabbing' her or giving her splinters. They just aren't rounded.

Yes, but I would read some of the recent reviews about sharp edges cutting fingers before buying this. Mine were returned.

No, mine are still sharp and in good condition. I am happy with my purchase.

yes, I do think they are. They are not shinny pretty, but I do think they are well made , sharp and will last. If you are looking for fancy fingernail clippers don't buy. However, they work good on my fingernails. Their kind of big. Thank you I hope this helps.

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

I don't think you would like these scissors. Handles don't fit fingers very well; not a long as they seem.

No is short answer. Mine after all this time are just now not sharp enough for fabric...took that long...as far as I know the scissors have not been made for years and I intend on getting more while still available...I should say, they were already discontinued for a while before I bought mine on same advice from friend, get them while you can...and GLAD I did
