Some are for display only.
They wouldn't cut melted butter, but they are very pretty.
But when you need to do some heavy duty cutting you need the serious stuff. You just can't have too many pairs. There was talk in my family of the legendary Heavy Shears that almost cut the cloth by themselves. They had belonged to my Grandfather who was a tailor. He died in about 1943 . Perhaps they were melted down for battleships, because no-one knows what happened to them.
So I'm hanging on to mine.
When you want to cut Denim you just can't mess about. The sharper the better.
I've been re-cycling jeans into cuffs and purses.
The purse is a bit of a structural disaster, but I'm pleased with the cuffs..
or are they bracelets?
Gunnels has given me an award. Thank you gunnels. When I work out how to upload the image you'll see its the Sweet Home Blogger award.
