Have not seen that scissor video, but picked up a box of Kai #11 scalpel blades years ago. Mirror finish. Usually go with Project Farm's second choice for the items he tests. Would like to do a list of every product he has reviewed with the top three recommendations.

I got a set of those as a Christmas present from an old girlfriend. They sat in my tool cabinet drawer for 20 years. I "gifted" them to my better half when we bought the house. Ended up designating the next to the last drawer in one of my tool cabinets for her tools. She tells everyone that I...

Most recent use was a pair of 4" needle nose Vise-Grips to pull my motorcycle throttle cable when the ball end snapped off. Just held the Vise-Grips against the throttle grip. It got me home.
