real pair of ceremonial scissors. in window. east village [i think?] new york.

clock with a scissor. seen in chinatown.

daddy long legs.

i like how these scissors legs are. i can relate to them. They are cartilage cutters.

KINESIO

The first black scissors in the world made from high carbon stainless steel, which keeps the blade sharp for the years. Specially coated with black carbon and a fluorine resin, which enables the blades to cut clean, quick and easy without leaving any residue.

abs of steel.

abdominal scissors. that just makes my stomach hurt thinking about it.

ear scissors??

cool. [colours]

i like this set of scissors. the colour on the tip of the blade is really a lovely detail. basic utility scissors. Autoclavable up to 290 degrees. which is great for all the sterilizing i need to do.

bling.

you know you are making bank when you use these for surgeries. beautiful.

& forceps.

of course! what a great set! and look at that packaging and text treatment. AMAZING.

got to get in to get out.

these blunt tipped beauties are called ragnell scissors and are used for dissection.

everyday fine.

These are Iris scissors. Iris scissors are very sharp and good for routine fine cutting work; the curved ones are often used by hobbyists to cut Lexan in plastic model cars.

oh. ah.

"Each Listermate features comfortable plastic handles in an attractive array of colors."

mending.

this weeks feature [or maybe this months feature] is going to be on scissors used in medical situations. scissors used for mending and repairing and restoring. so welcome and enjoy!

the above pair are called LISTER scissors and are named for a British surgeon. He demonstrated in 1865 that carbolic acid was an effective antiseptic agent, decreasing postoperative fatalities from infection.
