stork sewing scissors
traditional stork sewing scissors, super sharp and great for precision snipping.
in the early 19th century stork shaped scissors were used by midwives to cut the cord... the midwives often kept their medical tools alongside their sewing kits, passing the time embroidering while waiting for mothers to give birth.... so this led to the tradition of stork embroidery scissors.
