Excellent Edges Scissor Kit – an ongoing review. Part 1



Did somebody say scissors? Yup – I guess that was me.
This will be the first installment in an ongoing review of the Excellent Edges ‘Fish Kit’ scissors. So what is my first impression as I unwrap this box of goodies…

Just so yo be really clear in what I’ll try to do here… my plan is to give a week by week run down on my new Excellent Edges scissor kit. So as I learn & discover these wondrous shears you can follow along too. If you like what I find – great. If not – great. Either way you can participate too in this forum thread. So without further ado, lets open a box of good stuff.

Well first impressions are funny things. My first impression is – LOVE!
Yes, that just about describes it. Love. It was the full ‘take my breath away’, beating heart, dry throat, scared but excited, butterflies in your tummy… well – you know what I’m saying ;-)
So what have we got here?

  1. Barracuda
  2. Crocodile (sorry too new to link to & no image available)
  3. Shark
  4. Marlin
  5. Glider
  6. * also a pair of 7inch full serrations. And a pair of 6 inch partial serrations.

So am I scared – yes!
Am I intimidated – yes!
But am I excited – yes!

So keeping in mind all of the above emotions my next impression is a simpler one. These scissors are just beautiful.
You can sense the workmanship & quality immediately.

One glaring omission though is an instruction manual or DVD.
Seriously, I’ve been cutting for 20 years now and I’m not afraid to say that I feel lost. I have never seen anything like this before.
Sort of makes me feel excited to be confronted by this new challenge though.

Ok enough waffling. Next time I sit down here to write I’d have had 1 weeks worth of cutting with these new Wunder-tools.
How will it go? Who knows.

So until I know…. happy cutting folks. (ps, wish me luck :-)
