To me, that's the heart-breaker.

There will always be some companies making and selling heap trash. But I thought that Fiskars was, or used to be, the high-priced-spread, and had quality to match.

As with most companies, some !@#$%^&*()_ bean counter probably convinced them there was more profit in selling two million pieces of junk for $20 each, than two thousand GOOD TOOLS for $40 each.

Replaceable and well-sharpen-able blades are ecologically responsible!
