A guy walks in to a kitchen store; he sees herb chopping scissors on sale. Decides to try them on a different leaf.They work ... kinda?
They could be sharper, trying to make 5 concurrent cuts doesn't really help the problem. Also, the flake tries to squeeze itself between the blades, and because there are 10 hinged together, there is enough wiggle room to do so. The result isn't terribly uniform -- which was kind of the allure of this setup.
It does turn out, however, that this resulting bastardized cube-cut smoked wonderfully. I may try to sharpen the scissors in some way and see if that helps. If it turns out that I just use these on cilantro and thyme - that's alright too I suppose!
