These scissors which I had were useful for cutting open clamshell packaging - the angled handles kept my hands safely away from the sharp edges of the cut plastic. But as can be seen, one of the handles broke off:
I searched for a replacement in a few stores, but failed to find any similar scissors. The so-called "offset scissors" that are available have only one of the handles angled upwards, not both.
Then I searched the web, but still failed to find any scissors like these. Who knew that I had such a unique pair of scissors? They were previously Forestfen's, but I don't know where they originally came from.
The closest thing I have found is trauma shears. I've read that they also work well for cutting open clamshell packaging. So I'll try a pair of them.
Update: Found this somewhat similar pair of scissors: Fons & Porter Chenille and Applique Scissors. Still plan to get the trauma shears - they sound sturdier.
This is one of those cases which serves to remind me that there are many things which exist or have existed, without ever having been photographed, documented, and indexed (to be easily found by me) on the internet, or at least on the part of the internet which I access.
