I bought my shears at Walmart -- don't remember the brand, but it's a known brand and the shears have orange handles. I have several pair. They run about $12.00 a pair, have lasted through at least three seasons -- and I use them to cut everything in the garden but wood. The blades keep their sharpness -- I only have to clean the blades once in awhile due to accumulated plant residue, which can become sticky.
