Gingher was a privately held company. The rep told me that there are two weights of Gingher scissors now. The all metal ones are forged in Italy. Whatever the others are made of are made in Taiwan. The country of origin (not the words distributed by) is marked on the scissor. If you have a question about your Ginghers, you can contact the company by calling the 800 number listed on the Website. Gingher warranties are still in full force. You can find out about them on the Website or by phone. The Gingher Website and the phone contact are among the easiest to navigate that I have dealt with. froggyintexas
Do you think they would tell me who could sharpen my Ginghers? I have a pair I bought in the '70 they are engraved with Gingher in fancy letters and stamped with Chrome Brazil. The other pair I bought about 20 years ago and they are not identified as Ginghers but I know they are. Anyway the have needed sharpening for a long time and I was told that if you sent the to Gingher they would sharpen them for free, I just never sent them off.
