The article highlights the passion for high-quality scissors, inherited from the author’s mother. It introduces Ciselier, a Canadian company dedicated to celebrating the art of scissor-making. Founded by Maggie Fox and David Thomas, Ciselier emphasizes the importance of craftsmanship, contrasting with the mass-produced, low-quality scissors that dominate the market. The company aims to support workshops that employ traditional forging and assembly techniques, producing scissors intended for durability and lifetime use. Their offerings include various types of scissors, with limited selection reflecting the craftsmanship involved in their production.
The vast majority of household scissors are of poor quality, mass-produced at a very low cost: disposable products. However, there are workshops, scattered around the world in communities historically associated with sword- and blade-making, that continue to use time-tested forging, stamping, polishing, and hand-assembly techniques to produce products intended to last a lifetime.
Ciselier is devoted to "keeping the art of high-quality scissor-making alive." Founded by journalists Maggie Fox and David Thomas, Ciselier describes itself as "the first-ever company founded to foster and promote appreciation for high-quality scissors and the heritage art of scissor-making."
