    I love to watch you restore items, it's very hypnotic and comforting, I know that sounds weird but I love to see old things brought back to life. The stories they could tell, and you are very hood at what you do! Thank you for caring and showing everyone that there's still life in old things!

    I love the fact that you made the scissors fully functional again, while keeping most of the pitting and scars. You saved the tool's history for the next owner(s) and the next 160 years. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

    those would be seamstress scissors. the bend is so the bottom scissor will stay flat on the surface. In case anyone was wondering they are made so big so the seamstress would have to make fewer cuts. This made it easier to cut a straight line and less work.

    They look like standard fabric shears. When you're cutting down a bolt of cloth that's 5 feet wide, you want to do it quickly, but keep a straight line. Thus, very long bladed shears.

    Sharpening scissors is difficult, the blades are hollow ground and the angle to sharpen is almost square to the face. The blades are curved so it is only the cutting edges that touch. Once they get ground down this much you start to lose the hollow ground and they don’t stay together to the end.

    It’s a shame, but no matter how well the restore is, and it’s pretty good, there’s a lot of metal lost off that. I’ve restored old pretty rusted items, and while they seem to work pretty well, and look as good as I can get them to look, I realize that they’re really not quite the same as when they were originally in use. Still, it’s the design I’m saving more than anything, and that is original.
