I went ahead and got a batch of scissors cut with a cnc waterjet. I will hand finish them to a brushed finish. The results are super nice! I will be using them to outfit the Dunham style sticks that I plan to sell as well as offer them for sale as a part.

If anyone is interested I can sell them in pairs for $12.99 plus $2 SH.

You can contact me at andy@bigairproductions.com

Cheers,
Andy
