I bought these awhile back and they are NOT non-stick. I find they gum up just as fast, if not faster than my dollar store scissors. The non-stick coating actually came off a bit when I pulled a piece of tape off one of the blades. They are hard to tighten (I finally gave up). I would suggest a $5 pair from the dollar store over these. They are usually the last pair I go for because I can't tighten the blades so they don't like cutting through tape and then they get stuck on the tape and have to be pulled loose...not worth it.
