I know when people are talking about trimming....they I believe generally use scissors....but I was wondering what else people might use....and I had seen these Japanese shears, and thought...this might be a totally suitable tool for the purpose? they're $25. certainly easy to clean up afterwards...all the BUD GOO! any thoughts?
Japanese Shears
In Japan, spring shears are often used to perform many of the tasks of scissors. These are comfortable to hold, and they make precise cuts, especially when trimming threads. The blades have laminated edges — a combination of hard and soft carbon steel that results in an edge that is razor sharp, yet flexible for a smooth cutting action. About 4" long overall with 1-7/16" blades. Used for needlework, fly-tying or general purposes, they make a beautiful, unique and useful gift. Made in Japan. Presented in a small gift box.
