Were these Fiscars or look-alikes? One of the advantages of the Fiscar Soft Touch is that there is no finger pinching. I don't remember if they use this design with the scrapbook line.
One interesting note re Fiscar service on the ST products, at least, is that you can get replacement springs when they give out (from overwork?).The last time I requested replacements, they sent me a small handful! Would that they would would put a quality spring in to begin with. Any way, the ST line has saved my fingers from calluses.

I don't have any, and I've seen them advertised only in art-supply catalogs, so maybe their usefulness is limited to paper. I'm always tempted to try a pair, but I can't decide among wavy-cut, deep pink, deckled-paper-effect, and the more complicated dags...and can't afford to buy them all! > > Again: maybe no good for fabric....Has anybody tried them? > > --Ruth Anne Baumgartner > > I have a pair I bought when I made my wedding invitations, and I didn't > think they were all that good on paper.
