GREAT TIP!! ;D MORE======>
When using your scissors it is always best to either lay them flat or hang them. Placing your scissors in a cup, or anytype of hard container (like glass, ceramic, etc.) can damage the point of the scissors. After extended amounts of time of dropping them in there will make the points break. This will add to the expense of replacing your scissors. Why pay more money on something that can be prevented.
28124 I have always kept mine in their case in my drawer. I still have the pair I purchased in Junior High for a sewing class. My DH just keeps them sharpened for me. Of course I have others and do use them. But this pair is used more than the others. No I won't say how old they are. :)

96736 I use a holder that clips on to my shirt--I
love it. Mine is a little different than
the one shown.
"The holder is clipped to your
garment. As you are working you can pull
the scissors and the scissors will retract
out of the holder on a cord. When you have
made your cut you can release the scissors
and the cord will gently retract back in
the holder. This is a great way to keep
your scissors handy and close by rather
than loosing them in the cushion covers on
under things on the table."
When I'm not using them, I store them
in case.

I keep my scissors in the plastic covers
they came in and they all lay flat in their
respective drawers.
All my knives have hard cardboard covers on
the blades to prevent dulling or nicking
them if they come into contact with other
knives. They should not be kept in drawers
without such covers for safety reasons as
well, it is too easy to cut yourself on a
bare blade while reaching into a drawer and
it is dangerous for children.
I don't like knife blocks as they can
be a breeding place for little household
bugs. Eiuw!!!
Anyone wishing more info on making knife
blade covers, let me know and I'll
post some pictures.
Ray made all mine.
