8:40PM March 9, 2011 | Kat Hannaford

Thanks to their lay-flat design, these Japanese stainless steel scissors wouldn’t be the first pair you’d grab in a cutting-emergency. They are suitable for both lefties and righties, though, and cost just $US25. Not bad for a designer cut. [Slice via The Green Head via OhGizmo]

Reuters got some video of the man in action, after the jump.
