Hi All,
Excited to be coming down for the long weekend in Sept, and wanted to know if any of you have seen plain black iron/steel thread snips, like the ones in this picture, and who might sell them? (at faire or elsewhere in the greater minneapolis area)

Need a pair for my Viking reenactment, lol! Hard part is they have to be one piece, with no screws/rivets etc!
Also, does the royal chocolatier have a website/contact info? I think I lost her business card again :(
Google 'shears' and you might have some luck.
The Smoke and Fire reenactor's catalog has them online for $3.50

You can find her on facebook here http://www.facebook.com/raven.hagen?ref=ts (http://www.facebook.com/raven.hagen?ref=ts) but she does not have any other site and I do not feel comfortable giving out her phone number.
If you want bigger ones . . . sheep shears are not markedly different . . . well, in color I suppose.
sheep shears (http://www.amazon.com/AM-Leonard-ZL122-AML-Sheep-Shear/dp/B001FA9S70/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1344607601&sr=8-3&keywords=sheep+shears)
although these topiary shears (http://www.amazon.com/Berger-Angled-Topiary-Shear-11-Inch/dp/B002QB2HHA/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1344607732&sr=8-11&keywords=sheep+shears) are closer . . .

So worries Sitara - I'm fairly sure she'll remember me when I fb msg her - my husband and I have met her a few times at MNRF and being Canadians we stand out a little ;)
