I just learned of Kai products from posts this morning on the board.

Do you own one or more Kai products...if so, which one(s) and why do you appreciate them?

Here is the Kai product page:

http://www.kaiscissors.com/category.php?category_id=50

There are lots of items on this page and include what they consider standard, professional and specialty scissors.

Have you been able to purchase locally or did you need to send for these? I see that Amazon carries various Kai products.

I own Gingher scissors, snips and large appliqué scissors.
But more so than these, I appreciate my Heritage 6.5" Spring-Loaded Rag Quilting Snips and VP13
Hand embroidery 4 inch curved scissors. I've found those two especially versatile and I grap them most frquently.

My Gingher snips are these...and I don't value them much:

These are the Gingher appliqué scissor that I have:

If you had it to do over again, what would you purchase? I'd like something longer and even more ergonomically friendly than my 8 inch dressmaker shears, that's for sure!
