Hand-forged scissors

Product description

A practical pair of scissors, easy to hold for small and large hands alike, and well-suited to cutting fabric, thread, and other materials. These scissors are based on several originals. Scissors have been in use since the fifteenth century BC, making them amongst the oldest utensils known to mankind. Even models similar to modern hairdressing scissors were already being employed in Mesopotamia! This model has remained virtually unchanged since the thirteenth century. Crafted from steel by hand, the scissors are fully functional and make a fine tool for those with an interest in historical crafts and sewing, as well as for re-enactors demonstrating their craft to the public.
