If I bring them out for any reason I put them on a lanyard around my necK!

I bought 2 sets of 3 knife-edge scissors for 12.95 at Tuesday Morning last week. Probably should have bought all they had. They really are knife-edge. I gave one set to my daughter for Christmas. I can NEVER find scissors at her house. I don't know how she can manage without scissors??? Her daughter was with me - and she said, "I'm so glad you're giving those to Mom. I can NEVER find scissors at Mom's!"

I saw this and thought about some of the Ladies here. Who would cut the arms off their family members for using their scissors to cut something other than fabric. ...LOL

When they use your Gingher's or other good shears for paper-cutting, cardboard hacking, hair trimming or cutting the matted hair off the dog,or maybe even trimming their nose hairs........etc.....

I saw this at the sporting goods store.
