Recieved these about 4 days ago, only a few days after ordering (thanks HOBBYLINC for always having fast, dependable shipping). Have used them quite extensively in the four days I've had them as I have 2 model airplanes currently under construction. These cutters are very sharp and mate together very well when closed, giving you a pretty straight cut; no gouging of plastic parts whatsoever. I'm not sure sure how big they are in terms of measurements, but they are the perfect size for cutting parts off of 1/48 scale model trees (and of course, bigger scales). If you work a lot with 1/72 scales or smaller I would suggest you try to find a smaller pair of cutters. I have no complaints, and I can tell that these cutters were a good investment.
