iron/steel thread snips?

[Naween]

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 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.

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
