I recently bought 2 pairs of Clover shears. I had never heard of then until a friend said she could get them for $22.00 a pair. So I picked up 2 pair. So far I really like them. They are sharp and very light weight! I have had a pair of Ginghers for over 20 years, they are still very sharp and wonderful. The only thing I don't care for is how heavy my Ginghers are. I have Gingher, snips, pinking shears, embroidery scissors, and shears. They are great scissors. Time will tell how my Clover ones will be.
