Jaguar Scissors... Have They Changed?

[Alison]

I bought some Jaguar double sided thinners today. The ones i got are 'Jaguar High-Tech' Comfort Class and it seems they have improved on these with the Advance range....

"ADVANCE

WE HAVE IMPROVED THE JAGUAR FOR YOU.

AND OUR SCISSORS, TOO, OF COURSE.

We admit, it is, indeed, a difficult matter to improve on something as perfect as a Jaguar. It is just as difficult to improve on successful precision tools like our scissors and make them more efficient. But that is exactly what we have done. The new Jaguar ADVANCE range of scissors sets new standards. The results are ADVANCE cut, a unique grinding process which produces a cutting edge sharper than ever before, even more accurately made blades and new screws. The entire Jaguar line has been subjected to this complete overhaul. But one of the best improvements is that there is no change in the prices. New, enhanced quality at prices you know. "

The thing is, the ones i got are COMFORT CLASS and in the new range, they only seem to come in the PROFI CLASS. The Profi Class ones i tried seem alot sharper, but i don't know alot about scissors. I am hoping someone here will have some idea.

I can take the ones i bought back and get the other ones.
