Sewing Scissors
I have a couple of pair of sewing scissors. Two are Fiskars, and will
tell the story of why I have 2 if somebody wants me to, but my main questions is about my other pair. I have another pair that I suppose is part of my "inheritance" from my late mother. It is a pair of heavy duty Wiss scissors that are almost 11 inches lomg when measured from the end of the handle to the end of the blade, and the "cutting part" of the blade is 5 inches long and fairly heavy duty. From a technical standpoint, I suppose the Wiss is a much better pair of scissors, but most of the time I use the Fiskars, the reason being that the is a little bit of rust on the Wiss but not the Fiskars. I suppose a bit of rust on the outside isn't any big deal, but some rust is showing up on the inside. The best idea I can think of is to perhaps and the blade with either really fine grit sandpaper or extra fine steel wool, treating the blade with some oil, and perhaps getting hold of a whetstone. I was also kind of wondering if, after I recondition them, if I should make some kind of holder/protector for them. -- My Yonkoma: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0...57680223526176 The E-mail associated with the account is a "spamcatcher" account that I got to every couple of months to empty out, and anything sent to it will not be seen for probably several months, if it is seen at all.
