My son (as a young teenager) once wanted to show me that they were not nearly as sharp as I kept warning him about, so he opened them up and dragged his thumb all the way down the length of the blade---fast. I made him clean up the blood off the kitchen floor himself and then clean the scissors. He was fine, just really embarrassed, BTW. My scissors were respected from then on.

many years ago my husband used my sewing scissors to cut a gasket out of an old innner tube. not only dulled them but sprung them so they wouldn't cut anything.Mary

My honey knows there are some scissors that are strictly OFF LIMITS: The pink pair in the kitchen (kitchen shears) and any scissors in MY sewing room!

My DH used them to cut screening when making a new window screen for the bedroom window (because it was cheaper than buying one) - grrrrrr!

When I found my husband using my sewing scissors, he bought me new ones. Of course, I picked the best ones I could find, at considerable expense.

Boy can I relate to this! When my gf offered to clean my house when I was sick last fall I was thrilled. All of a sudden she sherks, there is a pin in the vacuum cleaner hose. What does she grab??? My sharp Dova applique' scissors to pull it out. Now, I've nice little nick in the center of them. My heart breaks everytime I use them because I can feel the click.

My teenage son used my best Wiss to cut electrical wire for a school project. When I decided to let him live (he wished he had died), he decided he would replace them with another very expensive brand for me for Christmas. Since he had no job, it didn't take long to find out he used my bank card to withdraw money at the ATM. Bank wanted to prosecute. Hubby wanted to kill. Sent him to live with his dad. Now he has 3 boys, 2 of them twins! Life is good!
