The fine, curved tip on these scissors is more efficient for removing stitches.

I hate it when they have those symbols -- the triangle with the line though it... etc. What the hell does that mean? It's bad enough when I can't read the print (it's too small without my glasses) but I'm totally lost when it comes to those symbols. :???: My problem with the garment tags is the washing instructions.
