My New Favorite Thing: Shredding Scissors

Ae416ed44c63339b5821101e94e09045 I'm almost embarrassed at the level of excitement a $15 pair of scissors brought our household, but these shredding scissors have fascinated my wife and I since we bought a pair (quintuplet?) in December. (My wife is kind of a nut for cutting things up and reassembling them.) These 5-bladed scissors come from Japan, are relatively inexpensive, human powered, and... I swear, will cause you to open and close them repeatedly while marveling at the movement of the blades, like you were Jeff Bridges in Starman. (See also: 9-bladed!)

We could use some of these. Our shredder just broke after about 3 months. (It had a 90 day warranty.)

In asia there is a new trend of using multi-bladed scissors for cutting hair. it seems the hair cut gives the hair more volume and is very good, although it does take some talent to master multi-blades
