This is The One!

“That’s it, Marv, that’s the silver tuna.”

This line from the movie Home Alone is spoken by one of the incompetent burglars to the other as they look at the beautiful home they plan to rob. You might remember that their attempted break-in is foiled by an 8-year-old with a hot iron, a blow torch, a tarantula, and a host of other things an 8-year-old should probably not have. But none of this is the point. The point is, for some unknown reason, The Hubs is completely in love with the movie Home Alone, and whenever he sees something great, something really special, the best of its kind, he says to me:

“That’s it, Marv, that’s the silver tuna.”

And when he says it, I know the man is serious.

So I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that after many years of marriage to a grown man who loves Home Alone so much that he regularly quotes it, the first thought I had when I saw today’s deal was (you guessed it):

“That’s it, Marv, that’s the silver tuna.”

And these scissors really are the silver tuna, folks. They are the gold (or chrome) standard for fabric scissors. They’re the ones you put a padlock on, they’re the ones that only a foolhardy non-sewist would dare risk borrowing from your table to cut paper with. They certainly cost a bit more than the cheapest paper scissors you can find but OH BABY are they worth it! And today you’ll get a fantastic price on Your New Favorite Scissors.

Gingher 8" Knife Edge Dressmaker's Shears These Dressmaker’s Shears have a versatile longer length cut and blades strong enough to trim and cut multiple layers of fabric effortlessly. The longer cut is ideal for cutting out patterns and trimming seams. The precision ground knife edge cuts flawlessly all the way to the points and bent handle allows for smooth, comfortable cutting across a tabletop or counter. Durable double-plated chrome over nickel finish.
