A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
on the topic of good scissors i can really suggest this german brand ZWILLING.
my mom still has a pair she inherited from her granddad and she’s in her 70s

Those are really nice shears. I have a affinity for all-stainless steel kitchen tools.
If I needed new kitchen shears I'd consider those.
the categorisation as kitchen shears is a bit weird, but they have all sorts of scissors and shears on there.
The bottle opener integrated into the handle is probably why the op assumes they are kitchen shears.
Plus your link is to "kuechenscheren" which translates from the german to "kitchen scissors".
That's the name we use in the US for kitchen scissors.
Do you use the word scissors for some other kind of tool?
Usually, we seem to call ones that cut softer material scissors. "Craft scissors" "hairdresser scissors"
If it cuts material that's more substantial, we'll call them shears.
"Kitchen shears" "garden shears" "metal shears"
