I am thinking about buying a pair of pinking shears and as it seems that they are not in-expensive I thought I would ask you all on here if any of you have a pair, which ones, likes, dislikes.
Thanks

I have had a pair of gingher pinking shears for over 30 years. Love them. they are pricy, but worth every penny.

Do you need pinking shears ... what about a pinking shear blade for your rotary cutter?

i still use my grandmother's gingher pinking shears---she's been (gone) for 20 years now, i've had them at least 40 years- she had them probably that long before passing them to me-
i would be lost with out them- best pair of shears in my arsonal---not used alot- but when i need them...they never let me down.
