Are these decent cutters?

[GailC]

I need a better pair of cutters, do these look OK? If not, what do you recommend?

I can confirm yes.

...notice for how many known brands they make them...
I'm a satisfied Kaneshin black steel tool user. Wanted to have some stainless tools here and there on hand even on benches. In last two years I've gathered some Ryuga and Tian master grade pieces -
scissors, jin pliers, rounded branch cutter and I love them. Good tools for good money. When I try to compare them to AB tools I really cannot see any difference besides the logo.
...the eBay Tian seller I ordered from was jintianbonsai, free shipping...

I have set of those and they're pretty nice but you need to take care of them. Clean and sharpen regularly and they'll last you for awhile (been using mine for 3 years with no issues, and they're still in great shape).

Thanks, I'll check out that ebay seller too, I wouldn't mind a whole set

EDIT: ended up going with a set from American Bonsai, they had what I wanted without a bunch of extras. I got a sharpening set too.

I've been using Tian master grade for a few years. They have held up well. I still prefer my carbon steel tools, their much easier to sharpen.
