I carry them all the time, dead heading flowers on the garden and foraging. Lovely to hold and use, beautifully functional. Highly recommend +++
Nice looking piece and VERY sharp.
Delivered quickly and good quality. Gave as a gift and it was very appreciated.
Useful pocket snips, use for dead heading flowers and wild foraging. Love the organic shape and hand forged nature of the piece. Easy to use and carry.
These shears are great. They are well made and really look the part. I'm really looking forward to using them for living history work. They don't cut quite as well as I hoped. They can't snip fabric and struggle with thicker wool yarn unless it is pulled very taut and you have to snip several times or run the yarn against the blade more like with a knife. But so far they cut ordinary sewing thread without too much trouble which is mainly what I wanted them for. For such a reasonable price I think they will do their job and make my sewing kit more historically appropriate.
