Ouch! Personally I consider all the TiNi coated scissors and knives to be basically a sham, the coating doesn't make the tool sharper, just harder to sharpen when it begins to dull. Though on scissors it may make the blades a little less likely to pick up adhesive from tape (I have seen some Japanese scissors with a PTFE coating for that too).
