Cutting shears for cutting. - Type: Scissors - Color: White - Features: Blade cover - Design: Ergonomic handle This was included in a children's sewing kit. It's been about 10 years, but the sharpness was good. There is some rust on the stainless steel joint, but I don't think the sharpness is affected. Please check the 5th and 6th photos for some slight dirt on the grip. Thank you for looking.
