What Brand of Scissor's do Knife aficionado's use?

I have a pair of Gingher Dress Makers Knife Shears that are absolutely amazing! One edge is ground at a 45, while the other is ground at about 15 degrees and is much sharper than many of my knives come from the factory! They are very heavy duty, but are meant for only cutting fabric, which they do very well.
 
There's one forumite who can tell you what the sharpest scissors out there are, though I was unable to find the brand name in his 1,000 word post before he closed it.:D

I purchased a pair of Puma hair-dressing scissors in Hobart (Tasmania) when I was shearing there in the 80's, best investment I ever made.....terrific for trimming the moustache.
 
I have a few EMT scissors, and some that don't have their blunted (round) bottom blade tip. Usually $5 ea. or so; the kind that used to be advertised for being able to cut through a penny. ( why, I don't know) . They cut pretty much everything I usually need scissors for. I get mine at Lee Valley tool.
 
Fiskers and the pair I trim my mustache with don't have a name on them but faux pearl handles and it's stamped stainless Japan on them. My mustache scissors are the best I have ever had or used!
 
Well I've had a pair of 12" Wiss 1226 for about 25 years that I use for dressmaking, a 9" PAS Frauenlob of about the same vintage that now resides in my desk and an 8½" Mundial 666 in my kitchen knife block. Scissors are merely a neat way to use 2 knives simultaneously
 
In before someone sends their scissors to Tom Krein to get them reground so they can whittle hair.

I just use cheap no name scissors :o.
 
I have a nice set of bonsai snips (the one piece spring ones) that are made from dif. tempered carbon steel.
They were quite expensive but they look much cooler than regular scissors IMO and cut just as well if not better for most stuff.

Gingher - Actually an embroidery scissors (stole it from the wife :D), but has the sharpest point and razor sharp blades I've ever seen on scissors.

Fiskers - for everyday use.
 
My fly-tying scissors... Dr. Slick Tungsten-Carbide. Very sharp... Expensive because of the shipping to Singapore. Handles bucktails with ease.
