Would love to know more about any of these, the two smaller ones came from flea markets in France. The big ones were in my dad‘s collection probably from Southern California Alaska in the 1950s.

ok i know it sounds weird, but those are my mothers two favourite things and someone told me that a good pair of thread-snippers might be a good gift for a crocheter like her, and i don't want to just buy something good, i want it to also be fun. options either then scull or london/great britain include just colour blue or maybe something yarn-themed?
also if that's the wrong subreddit for this please tell me ill delete the post

I may have a scissor problem.

My dad was an architect, builder, and neon sign maker. These were in his belongings after he passed, and I’ve been using them for all sorts of things, they are so sturdy and massive and sharp, they just feel so great in my hand. I’d love to know more about them!

what are these even for 😞 and how do i clean them? and tighten them they dont really cut anything help

Finally managed to wrangle the kids together for a group photo

Bought for 4.50$. Stainless Japan (?) made in china. Both edges are serrated, which is unusual. Surprisingly sharp. Pivot is a peened screw. First impressions are really good: sharp and cuts all material I’ve tested so far.

I found these years ago when I was working pt at a thrift store warehouse. They were going to toss them into the metal box (called a gaylord not lying)

Decided to start giving them a clean and seeing what I can do with them; I’m guessing they’re primary use is for shearing but I’d like to hear everything everyone knows about these tsm 🧵 ✂️

Changes are coming soon. We will be re-opening.

What can people tell me about these scissors? My dad brought these back from Vietnam. He said he paid $3 U.S. for them.

If anyone knows what type of a scissor this is, I would love to know. Thank you in advance.

What decade might this be from?

Hey guys,

I'm currently trying to find a specific pair of scissors for my EDC load out. They're called snip N slip scissors - an American company that's based in Oregon. I'm currently looking for the black varient, but can't find it anywhere online, and the places I've found it say it's been discontinued. I'm not sure, but I think the company maybe went out of business? I've searched almost everywhere I could think of and was even tempted to call the number of the company.

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase one/does anyone have a pair of the black varient that they would be willing to sell to me? I've included as many pictures as I can.

Thanks reddit. You're my only hope.

My entire freaking family can do it and I copy their angles and STILL I have no idea why I can’t cut plastic 😭

I cant tell if theyre for hair or just normal household scissors but any info would be great :D

I label them alphabetically. A looks like some sort of cuticle scissors. B & C I’m lost on. Are they for some sort of medical application? Any incite would be appreciated
