Description of the Product

Spring scissors like this were already used in the bronze age dating over 4000 years back. These scissors are made of steel, but the design was just the same when spring scissors were made from bronze. Pivoting scissors (the only scissor style we know and use nowadays) were already invented by the Romans at approx. 100 AD, but spring scissors like our model were the most common style through Early and Middle Ages. The common use of spring scissors continued in Europe through the middle Ages till 16th Century.

Spring scissors like our model were very common grave good during the Viking Era for example in Finland and we have many surviving samples from burial sites. It seems that small spring scissors like our model were important personal belongings that were gifted to the person for the afterlife.

These spring scissors come with a nice leather sheath to store and carry your scissors with you. These spring scissors are a nice and functional piece of history, fit to be used daily.

Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.

Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

I'm very happy to shop and cooperate with this company. The customer service is perfect, fast and friendly. The products have good quality, good prices and are exactly what you see at the pictures, no fake photos. I'm just received a package 📦 today, and it takes 7 days from Finland 🇫🇮 to come to Greece 🇬🇷. Very fast and easy!!

Siis aivan huikea!! Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista! Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa. Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍 Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
