Looking for cigar scissors. Do no want the folding style or something too fancy. Davidoff not necessary for this purchase.
Please PM me if you know of a good pair at a good price. Thanks.

"A good price" is very subjective.
For instance, I know you said you don't want folding ones, but the Xikar Multi-Tool I just bought for 39 bucks seems a very good price to me.

Something under $50 would be my price range.
A friend has a Davidoff scissors for like $400+ and I do not see a difference between a lessor pair and hers. That is why I don't think it has to be so fancy, but I plan to keep on top of cabinet and did not want a folding one. I would go for the Swiss Army or Porsche Design multi pocket knife for travel.

Not so much for the knuckles style. I just want a traditional and would rather buy one from someone on this forum. I know there are a few cigar accessory vendors on CS and waiting for them to chime in. Might as well do business with someone here first.

I got the scissors the other day and have tried on three cigars so far. The action is about 90% as good as the Davidoff's. The cuts were easy, accurate, and clean. No crushed leaves or cracking.
The finishing on the outside is a mirror. Inside edge where the finger holes are, are rough, but I guess that is expected. The stainless used feels a touch more flexible than the Davidoff's.
Considering the Davidoff's are $400, this pair of scissors at $17 get's 95% of what the Davidoff's can deliver and I would recommend the "Famous" scissors to anyone looking for tabletop pair.
Deal extreme has a pair for $4.21: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17171. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Mine has one excellent sharp edge, but the opposite edge wasn't sharpened properly. I might see what I can do with it if I ever find my pen sharpener.
