I did not know Ginger had sold out to Fiskar. Fiskar has always been the scissors that I purchased to cut paper or what I considered cheap "throw away" scissors. After checking my Gingers, I wonder if I fall in the category of being a collector. I have so many. Some of mine are at least 30 years old and were made in Germany, Italy and most in Brazil. I use to send them back to Ginger to be sharpened but the last time I got them back, I was not pleased. Now I know why.
