SCISSORS

Our Viking and medieval scissors ( also called shears or snips ) are hand forged in the traditional way by a master smith. In Viking times they were part of a woman's costume. They are used for cutting thread, leather thong, hair or thin cloth. Useful for seamstresses and leatherworkers alike. Handier to use than modern scissors.
