For many years, I had a Fiskars. It comes apart
for cleaning, so there aren't any trapped uncleanable
areas.

My main use of it was for making finely chopped parsley.
I'd put the parsley in a cup and repeatedly stab the
scisors in there and give it a cut. It worked remarkably
well. By chopping parsley in a cup, it keeps bits of
parsley from going everywhere. Nowdays, though, I'd use
the more conventioonal approach of chopping on a cutting
board with a knife. Since that time, I've learned
proper knife technique and the safety aspect of using
a scissors is much less important.
