Weird Remington scissors

Post by CampbellAr2 »

I am not normally into scissors but they I saw the Remington script and made the buy…..what I can’t figure out is why the tips are squared off

I’d say they are squared off for safety. Question is were they that way from the factory, or modified later? ::shrug::

I wonder if the tips were broken off, possibly from some use that they were never intended for, like I sometimes see that results in breaking off a knife blade tip ??? ::hmm::

A good many knives that I have seen with broken blades also have paint on the handles from opening paint cans.

I wouldn't be surprised if these are the victim of someone's prybar attempt. ::mdm::

Given the points stop differently on each blade, the id a that this was used as prybar makes sense

Thanks!
