Try a medical supply place. My father (a doctor) used all kinds of scissors similar to those you picture.

What you need is hair cutting scissors with micro-toothing. (Perhaps that is what Howard J. meant ?) The micro-teeth keep the fibers from sliding away from the blades, but the teeth actually stop short of the cutting edge... I would recommend rather the scissors with angled blades, which are available from most of the European suppliers: An old colleague of mine, who is now dead and did no bequeath me his ancient treasures, had a pair of scissors with the blades angled in the other plane and I would dearly love to find a supplier of such scissors, which are ideal for damper trimming. A pair of damper felt squeezing pliers is also desirable. I have the 50mm size. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
