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. <BR>I import scissors for damper work directly from the scissor manufacturer in Germany. There are no middlemen, distributors and wholesalers involved. As a result, you get the same quality of scissors that hair dressers use for less than half the cost. [That is still plenty - these scissors are amazing precision tools]<BR>for more info scroll down a bit at:<BR>http://www.pianofortesupply.com/NEWS.html<BR><BR><?smaller>Jurgen Goering<BR>Piano Forte Supply<BR>(250) 754-2440<BR>info@pianofortesupply.com<BR>http://www.pianofortesupply.com</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
