The Pizza Pro For ‘talians

Filed under: Household, Peripherals

As a pizza lover and eater, I’m always looking for a way to cut a slice from an uncut pie without fucking it all up. Usually, I take a steak knife and end up cutting half the cheese off while destroying the inner-section of the pie. If I had the Pizza Pro, this never would have happened.

If you’re wondering what the Pizza Pro is, I’d be glad to fill you in. It’s a spatula-type instrument with a gigantic pair of scissors attached to the side. The best feature is that you can you do all of this insane pizza serving with one hand. Remember, winners don’t use drugs and italians don’t cook without a Pizza Pro. Something like that.

Edward Scissorhands Attire

Filed under: Design, Wearables

When you invent a time machine in the year 2094 and travel back to the year 1990, the first thing you’ll want to do is attend the premiere of the Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissorhands. You’ll be able to catch a pre-Pirates Depp and Winona Ryder right as she was turning into a hottie. But more importantly, you’ll be able to wear these out in style.

Designed by Georgo Phillip Pecenikov, these cufflinks are articulated scissors that don’t just sit still and look pretty, they actually open and close. Silver cufflinks plated in rhodium that are shaped like a bent pair of scissors don’t come cheap though. $550 or your soul.

Laser Scissors: Always have neatly cut coupons

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

scissorsx_1.gif

For some reason, some people (including me) have never learned how to master the art of cutting a straight line with scissors. Hand eye co-ordination has a way of deluding us the pleasure of a crisp straight cut. This simple gadget makes our linear instabilities easier to refine using a laser which projects a straight line onto the paper you are cutting. Just let the laser be your guide.

Some people might look at these scissors and not see the point. But for those who have been plagued throughout their childhood with the embarrassment of a jagged paper cut out, the laser will be worth every penny. How many pennies will it cost? 2000 ($20). — Andrew Dobrow

National’s electric hair trimmer replaces barber convex-edged scissors

Filed under: Household

The good thing about using electric hair trimmers over traditional scissors would be speed, the problem is the edge is usually unnaturally smooth, giving you the Gwen Stefani mushroom-look. So most people, invariably would need a combination of both: a pair of convex-edged scissors as well as the electrical shaver. Matsushita (National branded) has ended this hassle today with their new electric hair trimmer (or personal groomer, as they call it), what it does is that the blade randomly selects the fine threads of hair to cut, and leaving some untouched, simulating how the barber clutch a bit of your hair and cut it with the convex-edged scissors. The trimmer is also waterproof, so you can flush it under the tap. There’s also a style-guide that comes with the kit, should you pick it up in Japan in March, for $80. — Sam Chan
