this site: htt p://www.specialtydesignmfg.com/ Wouldn't you just pay to be at the marketing meetings for this place? "Okay people, we have to better understand the needs of the really big scissor customer, and how we can serve them" I knew in my head somewhere that this place had to exist, i mean, SOMEONE's got to be making the giant scissors. But how does one break in to the elusive ceremonial scissor feild? Meanwhile, at the trade show prep meeting: "We have to crush the competition! Someday, our big giant scissors will be a household name! When people think of massive scissors, they'll think of US" I imagine they brought the trade over from the old country. My father made giant scissors, his father before him, and his father before him, and one day son, so will you. And he got off the boat with nothing but a glimmer in his eye and the almost instinctive ability to create high-quality oversized ceremonial cutting tools. |
This just might be the answer to that age old family problem of, "Okay! Who's got the good scissors?" [something,I can assure you,every family is plagued with] How the hell could you loose something that big?!?!?! On a related note: the hospital I used to work for,was always giving us freebies,for being such "good" nurses. Cups, penlights,jackets,umbrella's,[for arieal advertizing,no doubt],but the topper was our "scissors". Not quite as big as the ones pictured,but way too big to fit in a nurses pocket. When the boss proudly handed me mine,I asked," Am I supossed to go do some yard work with these? I use them to prune my rose bushes. I think it would scare a patient to see me pull out some scisors that size,while they were helpless in bed. |
The designer has nearly 25 years of experience in cutlery design and manufacturing. He was asked by the GSA to revise the government specifications for scissors and rewrote them in 1986. He has several patents in cutlery and other areas. Goverment specifications for scissors.... WTF, did anyone else knew these existed? |
