The owner sets are very good, bloody expensive though for a pair of scissors

I have the thinking anglers ones as my every day pair
I like the loop for tightening knots and the stripping tool that are on them
Even though I still use teeth to strip the coatings lol

If you send Gerry (OldGeezer) a PM, he'll tell you the best scissors. He put them on a post a year or so ago, and I ordered a pair, they're fantastic. No carp tax either.

Before buying new ones trying sharpening them with aluminium foil. Fold over a small sheet a few times then cut into it, for some reason this sharpens the blades, something my dad taught me years ago.
Will be worth a go before binning your old ones.
