Got my first pair about 33 years ago, never had them sharpened. The screw needs to be tightened, tho. I got a new pair with a 50% off coupon at JoAnn's last fall that I haven't used yet. Guess I need to break them out. Somehow it seems disrespectful to the first pair! Does that make sense?

I have a pair that I protect faithfully. Everyone in my house knows that they are for fabric only. I keep several pair of cheapies for them to use. LOL
My daughter know how to get to me though. Every once in a while she says, "We're in here, Mom, cutting plastic and cardboard with your ginghers."

Joanne's had Ginghers for 50% at Christmas, William bought me a two pair set...they cost $24.00, a pair of shears and a pair of "snips".

My son has bought me three pair of Ginghers asd Xmas goftds. I have been going bonkers trying to find the fiberglass pair, been missing since Xmas. I used them a lot after my hands started hurting while doing a lot of cutting. Still have my shiny pair and my applique one. I really love them!

Congratulations to you!!! I went to JoAnn's last year to buy my first pair of Ginghers (after asking the quilters on this board for their suggestions). Ginghers were #1 in the poll results! I used a 50% off coupon and bought an 8" blunt-tip knife/serrated edge shear, for me to use only in my sewing room. I also bought and 8" lightweight-bent pair that was on sale for 40% off, for me to use when I go to classes. Maybe I should have bought a shorter lightweight-bent pair for classes than the 8" pair. I may do that if I can get another 50% coupon. :)
