One Of The Many Things We Take For Granted,

scissors,


and here are few examples of a different take on them from Zencix, all images courtesy of Zencix, there are 3 styles, round,

triangular,

and square,

all three are available in three colours, green, yellow and black, the company was founded over 100 years ago by Zenroku Toki at the time he made Japanese swords in Seki city, Gifu, Japan, after World War 2, Japanese style sword were not needed anymore and he started to make scissors, Tastuji Toki, Zenroku's son, worked with him and learned how to make scissors, He established the new company in 1963 making his own brand "Zencix", as well as scissors the company also makes kitchen knives, if you want any of the scissors they are available at Present & Correct, as it happens they were produced once before in the 1980s if you look on eBay you can be lucky and find a vintage pair, I have to say they make all of the scissors we have look rather plain and boring!
