99% of my scissors/shears were purchased at dog shows strangely enough with the exception of my small thread snips. Most of them are for hair - dog hair - but even my large fabric shears came from a dog show.
Some of mine are 44/20 (that's a brand), Dbl Duck, Millers Forge and Kikui. My sewing scissors are Minks.
I'm going to miss showing dogs for more reasons than I loved the sport ... when I went to some of the larger shows (Louisville in March, Columbus in November, Chicago in February, Kalamazoo in May) I brought ALL my scissors and knives to the show for sharpening. Going to have to find a good sharpener.
