    Fiskars things are good as long as they are actually made in Finland. Pity that many of their products are just chinese junk and you’ve got to read the labels even though you know the brand.

      Learnt this the hard way. Have used Fiskars scissors since the 70s and they were top quality. Was looking for a new pair for the kitchen and found them online. Only to realise they were made in China. They’re pants.

    Ceratec is a non-stick ceramic coating that appears to be PTFE free, so that’s cool.
