I have a pair that I got from walmart sewing notions. They came in a pack with some needles and pins. I think I paid about 88 cents for it. I also have some made by frisker. I found them with scissors and they were called thread snips. I really like them when I chain piece.

I got my first ones in Japan in 1978...Clover make them and I am sure there are many clones. Good luck in your hunt.
P.S. the ones from Japan are wrapped in cord on the handle, orange and cream, with a tassel at the base. All of my others (about 5) are similar to the one you display.

Yes, they are really handy to have at your sewing machine to clip threads and corners off of squares.
Perhaps the ones you are using are a better grade of steel than some of the others you have used. The MGS indicates that - master grade steel. I've had a number for many years and only one is a dud. One pair has been going strongly since 1978.

This link shared by PaperPrincess has what you're looking for. To my eye, they look exactly like the photo you posted.

If you scroll down to the bottom, there is a category of payment FAQs.

I couldn't find them either. Maybe they don't carry them anymore. I have checked Walmart and Michaels here in Phoenix and they don't carry them so I'm off to Hobby Lobby in the morning although they don't show them on their website. I haven't tried Harbor Freight yet.
