Scissors create great excitement amongst needleworkers. Collecting them can become an addictive hobby.

Monsieur Jean- Marie Roulet from Nogent in France makes very special scissors. He is probably the greatest scissor maker in the world.

We only know of one online outlet for these scissors The French Needle.

We think that these have to be our all time favorite.

They come in a custom made oak case unique to Monsieur Roulet.

Another talented French scissor maker is Emmanuel Jammas and although we are not aware of him having an online store he can be contacted via email emmanuel.jammas@wanadoo.fr

As Sandra is Australian we cannot fail to include Scissoroo. These scissors feature the iconic Australian kangaroo.

For every day use Nicola uses an inexpensive 2 ½ inch pair of scissors (far left) that are sharp and practical.

Do you have a favorite pair of scissors that you can share with us?
