I think I`ve got enough scissors now !
The heavy forged ones on the dark American walnut board are all excellent - razor sharp to the tip.All the ones with black handles are carbon not stainless.The two pairs of 20 inch shears weigh 3 lb each with 12 inch blades and they are really sharp - good for wall-papering / decorating, tailoring and cutting ribbons for ceremonies / opening businesses etc.
The ones on the top left are forged stainless hairdressing, dog grooming and surgical scissors plus carbon tinsnips for heavy duty stuff.
The brown handled ones at the bottom right are high quality Japanese leather scissors which are as good as Kai midrange models.
The yellow handled / grey bladed ones at the bottom left are teflon coated.
The short blades custard yellow ones are for kevlar / aramid / carbon fibre / fibreglass are on the bottom left and made in Sheffield England.
Knives, swords and scissors have been made in Sheffield continuously for over 900 years.
Granton Knives in Sheffield have been going since 1601 so they have similar blade making history to Solingen, Germany and Thiers, France.
The multi purpose serrated ones with the grey/black handles on the bottom right come apart with no tools and can be used as a knife etc.
The two big bright yellow handled ones at the bottom are carbon floristry scissors and are good for most jobs plus they sharpen really fast and easily.
