Scissors

from Everydaylife · host Robbert Veen

In my life, I have probably worn out more than 20 scissors. I mean scissors for paper and for tape. Of those 20, I can remember very few at the moment. A few of them I bought at the HEMA. These were not expensive scissors, but they did look nice and shiny. The price varied from a few guilders to a few euros. But they all had something in common and that was that they started to show obvious defects after about six months and had to be thrown away after about a year.
