In our kitchen, time is marked by either before scissors or after scissors. And at this point, the time before we were using scissors in our kitchen (to cut carrots, cheeses, bacon, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and pretty much anything else) feels downright prehistoric. We don’t know where we would be without them. Of course, we have kitchen knives. But sometimes a knife just feels like so...much. Scissors are spare. Scissors are satisfying. It’s oddly calming to slowly slice away at a stalk of celery one simple snip at a time. But don’t take our word for it. Try out for yourself these scissors in classic blue, with two pairs for double the fun. JOYCE CHEN Handle Color: Yellow
