<p>I occasionally find these at thrift stores for 50¢ or $1, but I have two 19th C perforators so usually pass. I'll gather them up next time for folks posting here.</p>

<p>Update: I just searched and found: many reviews saying the scissors were dull or did not cut well; that one may purchase them directly from Fiskars for $5.99 plus $9.95 shipping.</p>
<p>So... I'm still looking for a lower price and have used CamelCamelCamel at amazon to ask for notification of the pair at $5. Perhaps I should ask for notification of a much higher price so they'd catch almost anything I'd consider</p>
<p>Ebay did not have them just now.</p>

<p>That looks good. I think I have the same model of Fiskar paper edger which they actually call 'Stamp' on the plastic covering the blade. The other I have they call 'Mini-Pinking' and I think that that's even better because of the small scale of actual edging cut......Of course it depends on how large your stamp is- some of mine are quite large commemorative stamps.</p>

<p>I've cut stamps out of these and they're close enough. I don't mind that they aren't exactly the same shape as an actual stamp edge. I was more concerned with the <em>size</em>... which this was the smallest I could find. I think they look fine. They're just artistamps, for fun.</p>
<p>This example stamp is 1.75" tall. Photo taken on a keyboard for scale. (Kinda dark and blurry but I think you get the idea.)…</p>

<p>Hi, Terri.</p>
<p></p>
<p>These paper edgers create a scalloped edge that does not really look like a stamp edge, i.e., a series of semi-circular holes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Fiskars makes (or used to make) a paper edger that looks exactly like a postage stamp edge, albeit larger than real stamp edges. I got mine on ebay, but I can't find any on auction right now. Instead, I found these Dovecraft brand edgers that are similar:…</p>

<p></p>
<p>As you will notice from the design on the scissors, it looks much like the edge of a postage stamp. Using the standard philatelic term, a typical stamp has 10-12 perforations per 2cm (a little less than an inch) -- we call that perf 10 or 12. These scissors create an edge of perf 6, which means bigger holes, but still looks like a stamp.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Will have to look at these. Took a look at amazon.ca’s price here in Canada: $41.34 + shipping. Oops! Won’t be going there. :)<br/>Will swing by WallyWorld and see if they are any better.</p>
