I use the Friskar brand of scissors. The tip is very chiselled and offers a lot of control.

80% of the cuts I make are with a #11 blade and a steel rule.

When I use scissors, I have found that the Friskers Micro tip scissors are the best scissors for paper modeling. Ergonomic handles with a spring return make them a joy to use. They don’t look like they can tackle heavy stock but I have used them to cut 2mm card stock with ease. On the other extreme, I use then to cut 1.5 mm circles.
