Forged scissors are a good purchase if you are looking for scissors that will last your entire life. They are resharpenable, reparable, and contain no plastic or coatings that wears out.
These are made by Fiskars and are stainless steel but you can find some that are made by hand with other steels.
I use these for cutting paper, thread, fabric and thin leather.

Oh, hey a story I can actually chime in on with a story of my own. Back when I was like 10 or 11, I was getting serious about RC cars. And I needed a pair of ‘scissors’ that would be strong enough to cut plastic sheet. The hobby shop guy was like, well, we have this one pair of cutting shears that’ll last you for life, but they’re kinda expensive. They were $10 in 1980s dollars - I thought I was getting fucking robbed, but paid it because I needed them. I still have & use them, they rock (could use a sharpening at this point though). Made by Fiskars, which I see is the same as in OPs photo.
So yeah, I don’t see Fiskars often here in the states, but when I do, I buy them if it’s a tool I think I will want to keep. At this point, anything I buy from them will outlast me.
