These clippers are fantastic for cutting.  However, they are hard to grasp and squeeze for these 62 year old hands.  I have to use both hands to squeeze them as the handles are skinny and the clippers are heavy.  It is absolutely very sharp and cuts well.  I wish the handles were angled differently or something so they were easier to hold on to and squeeze.  I also bought the sharpener but have not used it yet.  The clippers are heavy duty and as described.
