Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition Kitchen Scissors, Brown
Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition Kitchen Scissors, Brown
These scissors are as versatile as a Swiss Army knife: one blade is notched for cutting flowers; a toothed inset between handles opens screw-cap bottles; there’s a hooked opener at the end of one handle for old-fashioned bottle caps; and a combination wedge/screwdriver head protrudes from the other handle. Made of stainless steel, the scissors come apart easily for cleaning and sharpening and have tough, durable synthetic handles. Place them in a handy kitchen drawer, a car’s glove compartment, or a survival kit. –Fred Brack
Customer Review: Not as described
Walnut Tradition Kitchen Scissors (ASIN: B00005AM7R) do not have “Comfortable wood handles secured with triple-brass rivets”, they have unattractive chocolate-brown plastic handles.
The bottle opener and screw driver extensions are a poor design feature, and simply get in the way.
Customer Review: great gift for people who have almost everything & cook
Especially for people who cook alot (live to eat, rather than eat to live), these scissors are a fantastic gift. I have given at least a dozen pairs as wedding or house-warming gifts. I have had mine for eight years & they are still razor-sharp. I reach for them a dozen times each day. These would be a welcome gift for a valued staff member or an appreciated teacher, as the holidays approach. I couldn’t live without mine.

Customer Review: Excellent Value
I am fairly discerning music listener though by no means am I a car audiophile. I also tend to avoid Sony products as I find that the company is unable to offer any degree of consistent quality. I purchased the GT200 for my 26 year old Volvo and connected it to some basic, but new, Panasonic speakers (two - 4″ and two - 6″). I am thoroughly impressed with the Sony GT200. It is fairly simple to install and to operate and truly a pleasure to listen to. The remote control is useful if you have a 10 year old in the back seat and you can handle rapid-fire channel surfing through the pop stations; I advise you get a magnet to store the remote somewhere in the car before it ends up under the rear seat. The radio reception has been exceptional. For the price I would highly recommend this machine.
The only negative comment that I can offer is that LED display is irritating though not as garish as some that I’ve seem. I wish that the manufactures would allow for a more tasteful display though perhaps the machine’s programming allows for this. I am a male and true to my stereotype I have yet to have read the instructions.
Customer Review: BUY THIS IF YOU OWN AN IPOD!
I predicted a 2 1/2 years ago that after the masses get their ipods, every car stereo deck would have a miniplug line-in within the next year. Boy was I wrong. There are currently $100 adapters, crappy radio transmitters, tape inputs and more workarounds I care not to think about. What in god’s name are they all thinking? I have no idea, but all they need to do is put a miniplug line-in on the front of the deck or include an RCA line-in. After doing this you will laugh at those that use the aforementioned means of transmission with your newfound sound quality.
Enter Sony(also Aiwa I think, maybe others)
Buy this $100 Sony or comparable unit and buy a mini plug cord with 2 mail ends at Radio Shack for $4. Plug your ipod into one end and the onther end goes into the front of the deck and voila! You’ve just increased sound quality by about a 3-4x!
HIGHS: price/value ratio, good ipod sound(miniplug input SOOO much better than radio transmitter), sub vol control, rotary volume control, looks good, 3 EQs, good power
LOWS: sound quality could be cleaner, skip/search buttons could be a little bigger/better
SPEAKING TO PREVIOUS NEGATIVE POSTS:
1. The bass IS controllabe via 3 band equallizer(its not labelled BASS so don’t look for the bass button)What the poster failed to realize is that LOW MED and HIGH represent various frequency ranges. LOW = Bass so I recommend that guy turn up the LOW setting.
2. In car audio, many times you are running a lot of powered metal wires over a metal body near other powered metal wires. This can lead to INTERFERANCE. Try rerouting, rewiring, checking your components, etc, I seriously doubt its the deck. In his defense, the mfg of car audio didn’t make it the easiest to wire our new toys, did they?
3. I’m not a schill for Sony I actually don’t like some of their practices, its just a good value for the money.
