"MultibladedScissors" news and stories

My birthday is coming up, and so Saturday night I got together with a few friends to celebrate with a potluck dinner. Despite the fact that I told all who asked that I didn't need a thing, several people brought gifts. Because these people all know me so well, nearly all the gifts were food-related.

My cousin Angie brought the scissors you see above. The package calls them Herb Scissors and up until this weekend, I had never seen anything like them. I haven't actually tried to use them yet (although I have plans to use them on a bunch of parsley in my fridge soon), but I find them fascinating (and oddly reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands).

What do you all think? Useful time saver, or space stealing gadget?
