From the manufacturer:
Winner of the Arthritis Foundation® Ease-of-Use Commendation, these scissors make cutting intricate details and tight patterns easy for people with arthritis or limited hand strength. A spring-action design opens the blades after each cut to reduce hand strain, and the high-grade, stainless-steel blades feature a precision-ground edge that stays sharp longer and cuts all the way to the tip -- essential for anyone who cuts fabric. Additionally, the blades include a titanium coating that is three times harder than steel to provide superior durability and lasting value. Our Titanium Micro-Tip® Easy Action Scissors also include a Softgrip® handle for a more comfortable grip. Arthritis Foundation® Ease-of-Use Commendation.
