As you all know that the scissors Fiskars are very good quality. I decided to order one from the new line - with black handles. They are not any worst that the classic orange ones. The handles are slightly lighter and may be little rough, but I can't say anything against the cutting. They are even sharper than the orange ones and after 2 weeks of professional use they don't seem to be worn at all. I would definitely buy them again in the future.
