    i've developed an unhealthy obbsession with
    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.

    I don't know wisper,I can kinda see a positive aspect to this.

    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.

    I like this particularly: "About the Designer"

    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?
