Default Can you recommend some good paper snips?

I am cutting images that are the thickness of three or four layers of card stock and need a good strong pair of paper snips. Is there something you recommend I consider or something that you suggest I steer clear of?

Thanks.

I have enjoyed using my Fiskars No. 5 soft touch micro tip scissors. I bought the model with titanium blades. Use a coupon and get them at joanns or michaels. they also go by the name coastal micro tip. They cut through chipboard with ease, so hopefully they will cut through cardstocks layers w/o a problem.

These are my favs - http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.j...RODID=prd17775

Use a coupon. I always buy them at at least 40% off. I say always as after over a year of regular cutting and cutting hard objects with these, I finally chipped a small piece out of one blade. They still work fine, but sometimes I get ribbon caught there, so I bought a second pair for my ribbon cutting.

I've used the SU paper snips (which are the same as Cutter Bee) and also several pairs of Cutter Bees. They stay sharp for a while, but do lose their edge. The Fiskars ones do not. I bought the Fiskars ones after I got tired of sharpening the Cutter Bees. And, the handle on the Fiskars pair is big and padded, which is great for my big hands as the paper snips hurt my hands when I have to do a lot of cutting. I've also used my Fiskars to cut a variety of things from chipboard to paper to metal. They're still sharp too!
