@Alaskan - loved the parade pics

BTW - have you read the book titled "If you Lived Here I'd Know Your Name" ? It really is a lot like your writing style.

My Fiskars sewing scissors beat the pants off of all the other brands that I have (I have a total of 5 scissors in that room).

However, for pins, what do you guys have?

The best I've found so far are these:


They work great and are strong. The tin is just about the coolest thing, ever. I might have let out a squeal once I figured it out. No more loose pins in my bag! I just wish they had the round glass heads.

Fiskars = great AMERICAN MADE product!!! I actually live a little more than an hour or so drive from their factory. Every summer they have a huge factory sale where I scoop up all our sewing, household and garden/farm cutting cutting implements. The savings are more than worth the ride. Their ratcheting loppers can take all the abuse I can give them keeping our acres of "lawn" trimmed up and I pick up scissors for as little as 25 cents a pair

I always buy Fiskars. Best blades for whatever you need to cut.

I bought my hatchet at Wal Mart. I thought it was a Finnish company.

According to Wikipedia:
The Fiskars Corporation (Fiskars Oyj Abp) is a metal and consumer brands company founded in 1649 at Fiskars Bruk (Finnish: Fiskarsin Ruukki), a locality now in the town of Raseborg, Finland, about 100 km west of Helsinki on the old main road from Turku to Vyborg. Fiskars is best known today for its scissors, axes and high-quality knives.



It has companies around the world in 36 countries!

Bc: get ready to catch some negative comments in regards to crossing ayam cemanis with ANYTHING. They are hardcore

True that, saw it on a fb site I'm on. Good grief, the guy had to repost, in a different way, because they had taken his other post off..they didn't think his birds looked pure. Those birds couldn't have gotten any more black. Even the combs and wattles. Usually if you are going to see any other color, it's usually a bit of pink on the comb or waddles, usually the waddles, but these birds looked great. Not sure what that was all about.
