Monday Mystery, ETF snips

Ok, not a great mystery, more of a question... the jaws on these snips are very sharp but only in the ends of the jaws, almost like they were for a special purpose, but for what? The maker Engineering Tools and Forgings, we've covered in a previous post.

    Good idea if that's what it is.

  2. Buttonhole scissors - they reach over the edge of the fabric to cut the slot
