Big thanks to SOG Specialty Knives & Tools for this great little multitool.

This CrossCut could be yours.

(you will get a different one

the one in the pic is mine

)

Just post a pic of your current 'go to' scissors with a newspaper or similar item dated July 2015.

Giveaway is open worldwide and will be ending on the 20th at 10:00am CET (server offset time).

No minimum post count - no lists - I will gather all the entries, randomize it and draw the winner.

Good luck everyone.

Edit: I have an apology to make. I stuffed up.

Sorry everyone but I won't be giving away a CrossCut as pictured above.

That is totally unfair right? You lot deserve better eh? How will I make this up to you all?

Well, while Def was playing pink paddle boats, I raided the vault of goodness.

This is the prize you are playing for now.

Something of an MTo icon, this Gold TiNi CrossCut has travelled the world.

From lowtech to Lynn LeFey and felinevet to name a few.

And now it will go to one of you.

I'm in, having read lots of good comments on this model from Lynn. Curious to see how it compares, size-wise to my Leatherman Micra.

I don't buy print newpapers, but this screen shot from nytimes.com should do the trick.

My go-to scissors, when I'm not at my desk, is the one from the Victorinox Manager*:

I'm sure the Crosscut scissors are stronger, but the ones in the 58mm Victorinox are SO easy to carry, and with nearly a perfect tool set for when I'm going light.

* Careful MTo members will note that the tweezers have been replaced with a toothpick (thus leaving my Executive with two tweezers') and removed the keyring for a nicer feeling in the pocket.

Lots of folks posting pix and giving thanks, but not saying what their favorite scissors is.

I guess they're not entered?

You think so? Despite being a completely new, unrelated member, you are being so generous?
Thank you for your kind encouragement... for you, I will enter this and win it

Thank you again for this Amazing Giveaway.
It is probably one of the most legendary tools that went around this forum and it escaped my grasp a few times already so I would be honored to clutch it finally - got to reach my 25% win rate, right?

My main used scissors are:

Victorinox Midnite Rogue 58 mm scissors (my favourite and my edc)
Generic China Rescue Scissors (got them on Sunday from the fleamarket for 50 Cents and they work great) - users, until someday, when I'll get a Raptor.
Friscer Aquarium Scissors (used for trimming aquatic plants)

Generally not reading the press, so here's a page of this mont's Penny-Market catalogue

Etherealicer · **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2015, 10:55:11 PM

I mostly use scissors in the kitchen, so my most used scissors are the Klötzli Kitchen Scissors. On the road its scissors from the 58mm line, Midnite Manager @Work, Midnite Manager, or Classic.
