Really, I'm not kidding. Are they made by "Fiskar"?I've been trying to read the name of the scissors you use.

They look like a brand called "Fiskars". It's hard to find good scissors. I have really fat fingers, so getting a scissor with right size holes is not easy. I have a few of them and they work well for a while. No way that I know of to put an edge back on them as they are riveted together. Thanks for the reply.
Since the topic of scissors came up, I figured I would explain how I cut all my parts for this build.
I barely use scissors at all. I only use them to rough-cut part sections away from the main sheet to make them easier to handle. For actual part cutting, I exclusively use hobby knives.

- My main knife: An old-model OLFA AK-5 with a KB-5 blade. This handles almost all of my standard cutting.
- For thick cardboard/laminating: I switch to a sturdier OLFA AK-1 with KB-4 blades when I need more power for heavy parts.
- For tiny precision cuts: I use an Excel knife loaded with X-Acto #11 blades, which is essentially equivalent to using an OLFA AK-4 with KB-4 blades.
