But OK so this might be cheating a bit. I bought these lovelies from someone in Japan, but they have no maker marks so I don't really know where they are from.
They are both fairly large and blunt and not good for very fine work. Very pretty though and it's ok, I have another pair from Japan that is super-great for the fine stuff. Meet Kai Scissors:
Yes, for the safety of myself and others, they normally hang around with that point protector on. These suckers are not that pretty but they are by far the SHARPEST scissors I own. Let's take a closer look.
Yikes! If you are doing fine cutwork, you should maybe know about these. Specifically, they are Kai's 4-inch straight blades for needlework. They also make curved, bent, and blunt 4-inch needlework scissors, and I've also heard great things about Kai's shears and other larger blades for a variety of uses, but I haven't invested in any of them, yet.
Next time: Italian scissors (and that won't be the last of them, either...)
omg I love both pair. Very nice and the fobs are fantastic also
