only had these 2 days and haven't used them a lot but they seem good.  Solid, Simple, Sturdy. Unlike some whimpy brands I tried and abandoned.  I clipped some heavy grass today and these went right thru it as long as I didn't try to take too big a bite. I held back one star as I can't speak to durability but I have very high hopes for them - not much could go wrong with such a simple tool. Just need to keep them clean, oiled and sharp.
