Pinking shears
 

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

You can buy pinking blades nowadays. Just use them on your rotary cutter. Try Hancocks or Joann.

If you use pinking blades, use an old mat. The pinking blades are hard on your mat.

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

Think I am going to get a pair of Havel's.

I have been using Fiscar pinking shears and prefer them over my Ginghers. They will cut all of the way to the tip and I get a clean cut every time.

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.

I totally agree about Havel's pinking shears. You can even cut silk without tearing it to pieces.
