Scissor Spectacular!

[@rogermcdonald1607]

I did stick around John. I try to buy American when i can. The other day i bought a drill bit set that is made in the USA. The name brand is DRILLHOG. Very nice bits and they have different angle grinds. Lifetime warranty. If you break one, send it in for free replacement. I was a machinist for 26 years so i like quality tools! We need to get back to old values in my opinion. 🇺🇸👍Roger

[@markrandall1456]

My wife uses Gingher scissors in her sewing room. She sent them back to the manufacturer for sharpening. I don't ask why. Also, I didn't see any barber scissors. My grandfather retired from the barber shop after over 50 years in the same chair. It was a hotel barber shop-high end place. We have one pair of scissors he used. They had never been used for anything but hair. I used them to cut my grandsons hair. The result was very similar to your haircut. :-)

Only you could get me to spend 20 min watching a video about scissors with a smile on my face!

[@lordvengerx]

The scissor stuff is really neat. The vintage ones especially. You don't see to many these days so it's been a real treat 👍🐱

[@scormack56]

Learnt a lot, didn't feel like 20 minutes, thanks

[@rossandersen942]

Another great video. I am a Fly Tyer. A good buddy of mine is a surgeon and snuck a couple of pairs of German precision scissors out of the operating room for me. They are a joy to use.

I remember being fascinated by the special scissors for lefties they had in elementary school.

Yes gramas scissors !!! That's why I collect them now. I have my gramas old scissors now and just as sharp as ever. Fond memories of her sewing my Halloween costumes and all the beautiful things she made.

[@melkc345]

Loved the ending! Today makes me want to buy a really nice pair of scissors for my wife. She loves to sew and deserves a spectacular pair of scissors. Thanks John and I can't wait to see what Friday brings. Jim

My grandfather used to work at a Kelly Springfield tire factory. He has a pair about a foot long of used for trimming access rubber from the tire during manufacturing.

[@buddynewman8949]

Great video as always. By the way my first car was a 1969 Pontiac GTO. Bought brand new for me when I graduated high school. One of the nicest things anyone ever did for me. I returned the favor for my son when he graduated from high school.

[@davidcoats1037]

Great video Scoutcrafter! I really like these types of videos when you pick one type of tool and talk about all different variants. We had the “don’t you dare touch moms sewing scissors” rule in our house too. 😆 I remember one time a kid came up to my work selling Cutco scissors and said they would cut through a penny. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a penny and sure enough he cut it right I half no problem. He sold several pairs that day. Take care 😃👍🏼

[@jordansimpson9519]

Really like my Klein Tools 23015 scissors. Been using them for a few years. I've seen Bell System stamp tools before. I think they cut lead sheathing with scissors too. Some of those finger loops are reminding me of The Rifleman 😂 Awesome ScoutCrafter stencil at the end. Awesome arsenal of scissors. Thanks.

[@issuma8223]

Thanks, SC, that was super entertaining. I had to go frame-by-frame to figure out how you did your last trick!

[@highdownmartin]

Interesting vid. I love pinking shears, fascinating action , superb tolerances. Hadn’t thought about looking for the pivot point!

[@patrickmeyer1967]

I had a pair of scissors that I bought from a guy that worked at the Essex Wire plant before it closed. (they made fine magnet wire at that plant) It had 2 "V" grooves in the back edge. One was a coating stripper, the other was a gauge for wire thickness. I guess it was a multi-tool.

[@Carpetcleanerman]

The pro pinker is the ultimate.... And the scissors after that would make for a great scoutcrafter job....

[@namleets57]

One of first things I bought my wife when we were dating was a pair of wiss Taylor scissors. She was left handed and she sewed but used her mother’s right hand scissors it looked very awkward. That was in 74 she still has them but sews very little anymore

[@lotsabirds]

This Video was a Cut Above the rest! Shear brilliance! Thanks, John!

The paper Scout Crafter thing you did at the end was cool. I was wondering how you did it, but I think I know...

Excellent Show today Mate!! ScoutCrafter at his best!! I wish you posted this one earlier, I just bought a pair of 9" Pro-Master off Amazon two weeks ago!!☺

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much John! 😃👍

[@jeffkoch8678]

I caught my grand daughter cutting sandpaper with my favorite scissors! They go by the name of Dura Sharp and were made in the USA. It didn't seem to hurt them any. I've had them a long time and they still cut hair, paper, cloth and steel foil.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I always cut sandpaper with my shop scissors and like you said it doesn't seem to effect them!

[@tonylenge424]

That was really good. Who doesn’t like a good pair of scissors. Very interesting and I always keep an eye out at garage sales for USA scissors. Thanks for the video.

[@Mr2Xri]

Hi John, the red giant Scissor is Abom79 size! I agree that the quality of old style scissors only few new can compare with old style but not to beat them. Have a nice day.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi scout 😊, when you talk about cheap scissors there was a documentary on TV years ago about Cambodia, after Pol-Pot took over and called it year zero? , anyway it showed a long shed built out of bamboo etc, whith about 50-60 people in there , it was like Dantes inferno, forges, home made drop hammers, and believe it or not lengths of railway line were carried into one end , and later Barrow loads of scissors came out the other, unbelievable* they also made pots and pans out of US artillery shell cases, forced labour of course, ****. Thanks for the video, this was a cut above the rest, lol, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stuart- There have been a flood of videos from merchants from India making just about everything and I am amazed by what they can make out of nothing!!!! Awesome skills!

[@tanathos0414]

I've been meaning to buy a solid pair of all-metal scissors, old style ones that are really sharp. Thanks for the tips.

[@vinylsteve]

I never really thought about the pivot point, but whenever I look at scissors now that will be the first thing I check out!

[@pt4242]

the best ones were the old made in america ones and later i found that good scissors were made in Italy. a pair of the Wiss pinking shears even had the brochure inside telling you how you could send them back to be re-sharpened. not any more. sad that so many of these companies that used to make really fine products shipped production out of the country and cheapened the tools to the point where they're simply not worth buying any more.

[@johnkelley9877]

This was very interesting and I learned quite a lot from this tutorial! Thanks for sharing this information.

[@DogWalksMe]

I love scissors! I bought a pair of Clauss with long pointy blades and they can almost cut an entire sheet of paper in one swipe.

I didn"t see a swiss army knife with a scissor in this video. SLACKER!!! LOL Very good presentation.

[@mikecurtis2585]

I learned more about scissors ✂️than I ever knew. Thanks 😊!!

[@dane.1847]

That last pair of scissors looked like the ones they used to use at stores years ago when you would be late paying your credit card bill once in the last twenty years and it was the stores way of shaming you in front of all the other customers by cutting your credit card.😂😂

[@jimronchetto8592]

John, you are definitely on the 'cutting edge.' :-)

[@57WillysCJ]

The old bandage scissors were great. New ones are probably disposable. I have two 10" Gold Seal, a 12" Wiss inlaid 22, a 8" Gingher that are great scissors. The Gold Seal list Florida but the bolt tells they didn't put top effort in to them. I have four pairs to refinish. Two of them are really good. One is a Dunlop but the best is a H Boker. Of course there are probably a half dozen old ones stashed that I don't remember.

[@mrbenmall]

Great video. Nipple Brown sounds like the name of a great blues man.

[@aljacobson9525]

Great stuff. Another type of scissor not shown in your collection are corrugated scissors or corrugated blades used to cut hair. I know that barbers, dog groomers, etc. use these kinds of scissor to cut without the hair slipping. I use this kind of scissor in a small size for cutting bucktailal and other similar hair fibers for fly tying and tackle making. How they achieve a corrugated edge can vary; but a note of interest is they make corrugating files to creat this kind of finish.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You could spend another 20 minutes just talking about some hair cutting scissors! They are a whole different animal and can be super costly! Even sharpening them is more expensive!

[@pt4242]

@@ScoutCrafter when i was a kid (middle of 7) our mom cut hair and had regular hair cutting scissors and thinning ones, too. and no, we weren't allowed to use her sewing scissors in any way, shape or form (until we were learning to sew on buttons, darn socks, and eventually use the old Singer; which I still have and taught my daughters to sew on).

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Those pinking shears are amazing 👍

[@illestofdemall13]

According to my mother, my great grandmother had special scissors for cutting fabric and she wouldn't let anyone touch her sewing machine. She finally gave one of my aunts a lesson after she realized that my aunt was interested and old enough to not screw up the machine.

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Really enjoyed the video. Scissors always interested me. I also had the mom rules about the scissors. We didn't have much money so she sewed as much as possible. So the rule was not tested. I have some surgery scissors that I got from the hospital. They would use them and sterilize only so many times. Then they would sterilize them and give them to us maintenance guys. Also hemostats. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@candiearntz4848]

Welp I'm impress I just ran out projects while watching this now I want to buy scissors

[@timeflysintheshop]

Nice trick at the end! I used to say my first car was like an extension of my body. I knew exactly how how big it was, how it would accelerate and handle. I could feel the road thru the tires and suspension. I miss the floor vents and the high beam switch on the floor. When I had to start driving a front wheel drive car with bucket seats, it just did not feel right. Like I was isolated from the environment around the car. I have never felt the same way about any car since my old Nova. 😐

[@ScoutCrafter]

When we were young Nova's were super popular because they were affordable and there were hundreds of customization parts for them.. Everything was available for Nova's!

[@kentonlord5986]

Love the vidios. I just found you about a month or so ago. I had to commit on this as you missed one of my most used pair of scissors. I carry them daily in my Swiss army knife! lol. But truthfully thay are a great pair of scissors for what they are designed for.

[@cheekymonkey444]

As a kid I'd get into my dad's tool room in the basement. He had a small wooden box of various styles of scissors. I'd get in there make my choice, and had one hell of a time getting them to cut. Here they were all left hand scissors. He was a lefty. Then I'd catch hell for using my mothers nurse's bandage scissors. The one with the nub on the leading blade so you don't dig into the wound when cutting off bandages. There was an old guy who used to travel around the neighborhoods in the city with a cart. He sharpened knives, scissors and cleavers, as well as mend pots and pans.

Many years ago, my nephew was selling Cutco products, which I think a ripoff. My wife of course had to buy from him. Among other things, sold her a pair of scissors that could cut a penny in half. Very expensive, maybe impressive but who in the hell needs to cut a penny in half?

[@foxwood67]

When you started on the subject of left hand models i got excited. Being left handed and using right hand scissors is tough. Ive been doing it my whole life and now its almost second nature. Handles are tough to hold though very uncomfortable. Wiss makes w20lh but they are not true left handed. Only the handles are molded for left hand but the blades are not reversed Still much more comfortable for me to use. I do have a couple pairs of new true left hand pairs one is from Mundial 493-10 tailors shears they are of great quality made in Brazil if im not mistaken. I also have a 8" model from Gingher super sharp made in italy. If you know any other quality companies making true lefts let me know🙂

Oh, I forgot to mention this Monday. My dear Dad bought me a Red 1970 Mustang fastback with all black interior when I was 15 in 1974. It had a blown transmission. That is the only way my Dad could afford it. I bought a transmission out of a junkyard and installed it in the car. It never gave me a problem for the rest of the time I owned it. One of the biggest mistakes of my life was selling that car. I still have nightmares for selling it.
