La tahqur nafsak, ya Ibrahim! Your contributions to this forum are far more numerous than my own.
This compact variety of scissor with the loops wrought inline is often kept inside the qalamdan or pen box, together with reed pens, a pen knife and a small inkwell.

Isn't it interesting that something we take so for granted as a common household utility item was, in its own time and place. a painstaking work of art.

Thanks again for the input guys.
