A sharp, well-crafted pair of scissors is a thing of wonder, they have a soul, as do all well-made sharp things such as knives and chisels. I love the sound these scissors make cutting the ceremonial ribbon, it is precise, significant.
I found them on EBay in Tokyo and they arrived in only a few days. I wanted something special for the Mayor of Enfield to use to cut the ribbon at the Londinium opening ceremony March 22nd 6pm at the Dugdale centre.
