If I can't impress tailors with my garments, at least I should impress them with my tools.
I was in a local haberdasher and by chance thought of asking them about scissors.
"Is this your most expensive scissors?" I asked, pointing to a pair from Singer priced at RM108.
"No, you cannot imagine how expensive our best are," came the reply.
"Show them to me," I said.
My heart leapt when I was handed a pair that said "Shozaburo" on them. I've been meaning to buy exactly this model online! The cheapest online option for buying this 28 cm Standard Model is RM412 before shipping from Japan. This haberdasher wanted RM330 for it.
I pounced.
There is a nice video here of the Shozaburo factory:
