Addendum: After I now about two years intensively (very large feral garden, rather have a forest) insets the scissors to show weakness: The blade and the counterpart tend to break. The leaves were not too thick, rather Ermuedungsbrueche. Have now the third (!) Blade, today the counterpart is broken. Unfortunately, I found it neither Amazon nor in Fiskars replacement part. Nevertheless, I have ordered the same scissors again. There are worse. Cut them off doing super.
