Each individual Parveen Scissors blade is then hand-ground on a traditional grinding wheel. These wheels have been used in blade production since steel was invented, the only difference being a slightly more modern power source than the water-driven wheels of yesteryear.
Once the two halves are ground and polished, they are assembled by the highly skilled artisans
