Pinking shears
Many years ago my mother had a pair of long pinking shears. <o></o>
They were not as thick as the blades are now.<o></o>
They cut great, and were not as bulky as today’s blades, and they were tapered at the end.<o></o>
Today’s blades are so thick to makes it hard to cut accurate. <o></o>
I am left handed and I have a pair of Gingher and Marks.<o></o>
Any ideas?<o></o>

I highly recommend Havel's pinking shears. I won a set of Havels scissors last years, one pair was their pinking shears. They are lightweight, easy on the hands and are incredibly sharp! I have 2 pr of Gingher and a pr of Wiss my mom gave me but now...., I am so hooked on Havel's pinking shears because they are sooo easy to use!!JMHO

Thank you for the heads up of Havel's Pinking shears. I have two pairs of two different brands and both are really hard to use with sore hands. I ordered the Havel's and look forward to getting the scissors soon!

Create for less has the Havel pinking shears on sale for $16.95......the shiping is $6.95 I believe, but I added four other items included on the order for the same shipping....so it is worth the purchase.
