You can choose stamped emt scissors from Pakistan (American Science and Surplus often has decent examples at $2), or you can get a forged version by googling "lister bandage scissors". Stamped versions work pretty well for the money, but I have been unsuccessful in sharpening or tightening them after they get loose and dull. The forged versions are more amenable to such tinkering. Size matters: the bigger ones are more effective. Orthopedic surgeons use 8" super cuts ( http://www.amazon.com/Moore-Medical-Super-cut-Bandage-Scissors/dp/B0015TB5V8) at $164.93; and they do indeed cut nicely.
