Edit: bought them anyway. No need to sign up for emails. Used 24SHWTXU15 for 15% off found online. Not sure if it's one-time use.
Glanced over the "sale" section: nothing good on "sale" unless you need a particular knife (do yourself a favor, sort by price and skip the sora section). I had stamped Wusthof shears that rusted
Edit 2 Just keep in mind that you are on your own for getting these sharpened. Shun/Kai "free" [kaiusa.com] sharpening does not cover shears.

Yes, I do own a sharpening business. You can sometimes find them used on eBay, FB, etc. for a very good price.
I sharpen my own cutlery freehand and encourage others to do so especially because it's nearly impossible for an intelligent adult to ruin a good kitchen knife with decent whetsones, the worst you are going to do is make it a little duller unil you figure things out. But scissors are a bit trickier and I personally ruined a few pairs before figuring it out.
I haven't used sharpening system like tackleberry recommends but the good systems certainly seem to get good results. But the up front cost only makes sense if it's something you're really into (in which case why not just actually learn to do it by hand) or if you are going to start a business based on it.
The good news is that just like knives, scissors rarely ever need actual sharpening if you take care of them. You don't need to sharpen well-maintained steel when it's dull, you just need to hone it. This is true for scissors as well. There are a lot of ways to hone a pair of scissors, cutting paper is a classic one and actually works pretty good. I personally use some scrap leather glued to scrap wood. I load the scrap leather with diamond honing compound and this works great for all my steel edges, knives, scissors, chisels, plane irons, etc. There is a ton of content on YouTube on this topic, I learned a lot from the stumpynubs woodworking channel IIRC.
I have actually been wanting a decent pair of kitchen shears which is how I ended up on this thread, but I don't think I would be very happy with these. I really am not a steel snob but 420j2 is picked because they expect people to abuse the hell out of these, which people tend to do with scissors especially in the kitchen.
I found a pair of scissors on Amazon for $45 just now that claim made in Japan out of AUS-10 steel. Snobs on the blade forums tend to trash this steel but I have a edc knife I like a lot made out of AUS-10. Sharing it in case anyone else has similar preferences to mine, but keep in mind I only bought these just now and I can't vouch for them at all: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZV4G...HYSTR
For people who aren't into blade maintenance (which is like 99% of people) you could probably save a good chunk of money and be just as happy if you pay for a quality set of 420j2 shears without the brand name markup.
Then again, there is value to a brand name in itself sometimes, and if that makes you happy there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
