In 2020, satirical online publication The Onion published an article titled, "10 Breathtaking Photos that Perfectly Capture the Unwavering Spirit of Scissors". In classic satirical style, the writer attempts to mock a mundane item by elevating it to mythical proportions. Partially re-created here, but using photos of beautiful handmade scissors, we'd like to remind The Onion of Graydon Carter's famous quote,
"Satire works best when it hews close to the line between the outlandish and the possible - and as that line continues to grow thinner, the satirist's task becomes ever more difficult."
"This incredible picture depicts the powerful scissors in all their steadfast, sharp glory."
"Two blades, one handle: breathtaking"
"Cut on, you steel beauties! You lustrous, galloping miracles!"
Fun fact: Carter's newest publication, Air Mail, recently recommended our glorious Robuso Klassisches Paper scissors. Fitting.
