adminMarch 19, 2012The Sam Villa shears are delfiiteny the most comfortable and neutral when it comes to hand position. And you move your thumb less to fully open and close them vs other shears. (Check out the video of him holding 2 shears in his hand and opening them on his site, that's what it's like.)Here's some Sam Villas placed directly on top the Kamisori Black Diamond shears:The Black Diamond shears are just a regular crane handle, while the Sam Villa shears are even more offset.My Kasho silver shears (which are much more finely crafted than the Kamisori) look much the same ergonomically when you put them on top the Sam Villa shears, because they're a regular crane handle as well:I enjoy the extra offset the Villa shears have, and use them often. To me, they feel more well crafted than the Kamisori shears. The tension seems to stay put on the Sam Villas, but the Kamisori's get loose every now and then. Also, the Villas make a very enjoyable and rewarding noise/feeling when you close them that reassuring snickt you hear travel down the blade as the edges come in contact.The Kamisori shears feel like kitchen shears when you close them, imho.That doesn't mean either one is better than the other one, that just means I prefer the Sam Villa shears over Kamisori, and they're both smack in the midrange level of quality so that you really have to nitpick to find differences in craftsmanship. They're both perfectly fine $200-$350 shears, and you could use both happily.If you have Roc-It Dogs already though, maybe you should wait a bit longer and get a more noticeable upgrade? Both shears are only a smidgen better. If, say, I was to rate shears on a 1-10 scale, and 1 was the flat-edged $50 pair of student shears you get in school, and 10 was a extremely good pair of shears over $1500 Then I'd rate Roc-It Dogs about a 3, and Kamisoris and Sam Villa Shears about a 4 or maybe 4.5. They're not light years ahead of Roc-It Dogs, just a little bit.
