"G"-Rated Scissors
Okay, so I already own 270 assorted pairs of scissors for every
conceivable purpose (Never use your sewing shears to cut paper), but I went ahead and bought a pair of Fiskars for Kids (ages 5+, with the "pointed" tips). I'll be dipped: They do, indeed snip PowerPro nice and clean. Close examination reveals why. The blades of regular Fiskars have a 45 degree bevel on the cutting edge which gives them a sharp, knife-like blade. The kids' scissors have no bevel so a child could not slice herself by running her little fingers along the edge. Because there is no bevel on the kid's scissors, the line doesn't bend as you cut it. It's sheared off straight. And, yes, I *have* sliced my fingers with Fiskars scissors. It's worse than a paper cut. =:-O Arondelle -- ================================================== ========= To email me, empty the pond with a net Visit Arondelle's Dream Worlds at: http://www.arondelle.com Read my Blog: http://www.angelfire.com/blog/arondelle/index.html |

Harry -- they have children's Fiskars everywhere. Try your local Long's Drugs,
Walgreen's, RiteAid, etc. ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry." John Lennon (1940 - 1980) Royal Varieties Performance ~ Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html |
