A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

These werent Fiskars, i think they were another brand listed in another comment (Gingher?) And solid metal sewing shears ๐
Ok, that's a shocking thing to hear indeed!
Yeah, apparently it made a pretty solid notch in the blade. My survival of early childhood borders on impressive, they knew my mom by name in the ER
when I was a kid we'd dip a butter knife in the swimming pool and pull a mains powered plug out of the socket half way and take turns touching the wet knife to the prongs. we'd then discuss how your muscles would lock up and you couldnt pull the knife away
