Hmmm, just received some new Lindstroms today.
Just now I am located in, and I expected them to be from, Sweden.
But no - they are marked with Spain.

They have cut a wire or two - some of them very fine.
All OK so far but I am keeping my eye on them. Matt black finish...

My home cutters are tired now - also Lindstroms bought in 1983 or 4 - my graduation present to me, along with an Avo 8 - also quite tired now...
But those cutters are still shiny silver steel and not matt black.

I was going to treat myself to a new pair. I'm waiting before spending my own money..
