I was intrigued by this information and immediately called ever paint and wallpaper store in my area only to discover that the owner of the largest store had not seen wallpaper shears for more than 20 years and the other store has not carried for them for several years. These scissors would be great for scrapbooking and I really would like to try a pair. I found some online (local merchants complain because we buy online, which we wouldn't so much if they carried what we want to buy), but need to know if there is a brand name so I'll know more what I'm buying. If anyone has a brand s/he is satisfied with, please p.m. me. froggyintexas
