Hi, Doug, This is a great example of how the word spreads! I took a
week-long Masters’ workshop with Marne Ryan at Revere
summer-before-last. A few of us in the group had brought our Joyce
Chens with us. Marne had never seen them, nor Had anyone else at
Revere, as I remember it. Everybody went nuts, and at lunch,
everybody at Revere descended on the upscale department stores in
the immediate area like a swarm of locusts, and depleted everybody’s
inventory of Joyce Chen scissors. The retailers must have been
scratching their heads! I have two pairs, and use them quite a bit.
But one caveat-- don’t be tempted by the knock-offs that look like
them. Not the same! I made that mistake, and the cheaper ones’ joint
loosened rapidly. They are riveted, so there’s really no good way to
fix them. Have fun,
–No?
