Folding Scissors are beautiful and useful tools. We have seen them in Asia, but none of them were really any good. The trick is that they have to be formed and assembled with great care, or they won't fold and unfold easily. This takes experience and real quality control. It now appears that there is only one European source for these left: a small, personal workshop of a very experienced master cutler in Nogent, France. It is he who makes these for us.

They are simply beautiful, work smoothly, and fold right up to go in the leather case. We love these, and hope that the maker continues to produce for years.

It takes an artist to make tools for an artist.
Reviewed By:  the Artisan Rogue (Kansas City, Missouri) 
As a traveling artist that does comic conventions and art fairs, it is paramount to me to have tools of all kinds that will hold up and if at all possible, be lightweight yet durable. These scissors far and away have surprised me in performance, sharpness, exquisite construction, and size. Deceptively small when folded, more than comfortable when extended, they fit the bill for my art bag perfectly. Worth every penny I spent on them, I would not hesitate to buy another pair if I were ever to lose these. Thank you Garret Wade for carrying these, and my utmost compliments to the scissors maker in France.

A Cut Above!
Reviewed By:  David (Los Angeles, CA) 
Compared to other folding scissors, these are in a league of their own. They are of solid construction, are scary sharp, and are a highly usable size. Once open, they cut extremely well and function as very good scissors should. The leather storage pouch is itself handsome and well-made. Take note that unfolding them requires a moment of thought and a firm grasp, as the springs keeping them closed have some resistance. That's a good thing, preventing any slack or slop in either the closed or open position, Easy enough, once you've done it a time or two. However, folding them back up demands that you pay particular attention to the instructions provided for putting them away. Follow the simple steps provided, or risk getting needlessly poked or pinched. Be sure and hold the scissor by the closed blades as you fold first one, then the other handle into the closed position. Fortunately, placing the scissors in the pouch and snapping it shut are simply done and danger-free. Now these ARE costly, as far as folding scissors go. Compared to all the other options commonly avaibable, however, these work and work very well. They don't feel sloppy, loose, or cheaply made. And they cut like real scissors, not hacking and tearing through things like the safety scissors my kids used in kindergarten. These are serious and elegant scissors for serious (and elegant) scissors users. Recommend!

Wonderful folding scissors
Reviewed By:  Maxine Kraemer (San Francisco, CA) 
I love love love these folding scissors. I use them for so many little jobs because they are so sharp and so easy to carry in a purse. Great for getting little fabric samples. I lost a pair about 5 years ago and was never able to replace them, so I was thrilled to see them in your catalog.
