I am looking for a new pair myself. Last harvest just about pissed me off. It was bad enough I didn't trim all of my bud, I just left it on the stalk and made other plans for it.
The resin sticks to mine so bad now I have to clean it with alcohol every 10 minutes or more while I am trimming up the buds. They are not like the ones you got, they had a teflon coating on them. Had is the key word there, it all wore off from 3 years of trimming buds. :cool:
So, lemme know how they work out for you and how easy it is to get the resin off of them while trimming. I may buy them too.....

Vortex I was about to add the Bonsai thing. I searched and searched for some trimmimg scissors and came across the Bonsai sort. I only buy scissors that can come apart and be serviced and I couldn't find this with Bonsai ones. If anyone does find them and servicable I'd be interested. They have a bigger handle to get more fingers in and a smaller blade length to concentrate your energy, but no spring opening the jaws. We all know that self opening scissors would help when using them for hours but I'm now wondering how long they work before the resin curse takes over the scissor blades......
We;'ll see. A report will be made soon............

These are the weapons of mass destruction of my choice.The ones on the left i think are the bonsia trimmers vortex spoke of.I picked these up at walmartThey were a bit pricey running around $15.00.The lil blue nippers not sure were i got them but they both work well for trimmin buds.As said before tho i have to clean the resin off prolly every 10 minutes or so.

That second pair look like seemstress scissors to me. What you use when a garment is finished and you give it a once over for thread ends.
That first pair are very very similar to what I just bought MW. To hear you find them good has put me in good spirits.
These are the Bonsai scissors I was thinking of.

These are what I use and really like the "hooked" end of the one blade. Its great for trimming close to the stem, without fear of clipping off a bud. They're only good for trimming leaf stems, or very little secondaries, they wont cut main stems and continue to be good

smoke the build-up on those scissors its some of the best hash in the world and its free just use a razor like the ones used for cloneing you just scrap it off i useuly get 1oz of this scissor hash per pound of weed trimmed and when you get all you can get off then clean them with alcohol ive never put alcohol on something that touches what i smoke
