I have a lady doing a catalog party and a guest wants to order a pair of scissors that came with a protective covering about 10 yrs ago. She wants another pair of them, but I don't know if they still carry them or not, can someone help me out please? She said she didn't see them on the internet catalog. I'm thinking possibly the professional shears?
 
Probably. They used to come with a cover that attached to the inside of a cabinet door/under the cabinet for easy access.
 
If she's wanting the white ones we used to sell she'll be just as happy with the new black ones. The main difference is the case that comes with it. The white case could be mounted, but the new one cannot. However, the shears work just the same. I loved the white ones and the new black shears we carry are just like them, but better.

Another difference is that if you ran your finger on the blade of the white one you didn't cut yourself but with the current one you will - experience talking here. Both can cut throuh the bone of a chicken though.
