Years ago I bought a wonderful pair of nippers, all silver. They work great and cut so easily.
Recently I tried buying a second pair. One for upstairs where I sew, one for downstairs where I do any hand basting, sewing buttons, etc.
I tried a cheap pair but they wouldn't even cut thread. Yesterday I upgraded to Fiskars, which honestly are not much better. They work only if you happen to cut at the tip.
Does anyone know of a good pair?
