BIRDIES

As an homage to the traditional Eastern art of scissor-making BIRDIES echo the symmetry of two handles of identical geometry. Either short or long handles can match several blade types, named after birds. An optional return spring can be used with long handles. Traditionally, point-only blade-to-blade contact is achieved by grinding the complex shape of the inner faces of the blades. The modular design of BIRDIES, featuring an axially compliant pin and an off-axis, distal spacer, enables the inner faces of the blades to be ground flat while maintaining point-only contact. Handles are either milled aluminium or injected carbon fiber composite.
