Default "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

I know! Isn't it bizarro?

Good deal. I will check there the next time I get into that neck of the woods where they put in a new Target for us.
Thank you.

Harry -- they have children's Fiskars everywhere. Try your local Long's Drugs,
Walgreen's, RiteAid, etc.
