Ginghers Love them. They have one that has a plastic body and a metal blade now and they are so light! Get when Joanns has sale and they are very cheap.

Thanks much! |
Because I have a hard time with my right hand and wrist I bought a good pair of Fiskars because I dont have to put my hand through two circles. It makes cutting so much easier. I bought two sizes,one sm for little work,one large work to be done. Make sure you have good seam rippers,it makes a difference in how fast you can rip.Good luck Dawn

How many have said Ginghers? I love them. I started collecting them til they got very expensive. I have over 200 pairs of scissers so I really need to stop buying them. :)

Depends on what for. I love my short pointy ginghers for snipping threads and using like a seam ripper. But for sewing shears i love the ones that come in the IKEA sewing kit. The whole kit is about $15 and also has a needle threader, thread snippers, taylors chalk, pibs and etc. Also good are the IKEA 3 pack. 2 short and one long for about $3 and all good scissors.

I love my Ginghers! They are about27 years old and have never been sharpened. They are light weight for arthritic hands.

http://kaiscissors.com/ I have Ginghers, like them very much, however like others have said, I find them heavy now that I'm getting older. I have Fiskars like them very much. I have Gingher snips for hand sewing, I like them very much. Mundial snips and I hear they will replace those blades for life I'm told....very nice. I have to say the year or so that I've had the Kai I'm so very over-the-moon happy with them....free/fast shipping is a plus. I have several different sizes and I believe they are still as sharp as the day I got them. http://kaiscissors.com/ |
I love my Ginghers and my Fiskars aren't too bad either. I have a couple of old Wiss scissors that need sharpening. I remember when Wiss was the cream of the crop. Wonder what happened to the manufacturer?
