That site has the best price on the Dr. Slick Razor scissors that I have seen. I tried a bunch of other models from Dr. Slick and other fly tying scissor brands but they were not the equal of that particular model. I am a super picky tool snob

I would love to try some these!

I use very small scissors a lot...I have a few pair.
They are all Medical surplus supply.

They are quite adequately sharp, very tough.
They cut very nicely.
Only problem I have with them is the small finger holes.
Gives me a lot of pains.

But at $2 a pair...I can't justify anything else.
Don't know whether I could spend $30 on a new pair.

Hi My Super tools for cutting
Priceless is skillful handling of them, you must exercise a lot of cuts for practice .

Does anyone use the scissors on a Swiss Army knife... I find them to be amazingly useful in that the thickness of the blades is so narrow. They’re really great for those sections where the “waste” part is forced to up against the scissors.
Other than some pretty specific surgical scissors I haven’t found much like it...

I found very useful this Niels Paper Model page.
I normally use specially the little one, it's very handy, you have no problems about fingers size and you are able to cut very winding profiles.
Anyway, where the scissor can't get there, an X-Acto knife does the job.
