    I'd go with the Gingher, I have a couple & love them, in fact I also have one of the same quality that is a Singer.

    Have had Ginghers for at least 40 years. I sent them back to the company once for sharpening.

    Ginghers are not as expensive as they use to be. I think I paid about $25 for 8" metal dressmaker and about $12 for the molded handle Ginghers. Having several pair in the desk and kitchen drawer keeps the family from ever looking for the 'good' scissors. The pair I have in the kitchen have cut everything and still sharp after many years.

    For tip sharpness, I love my Dovo scissors...for cutting I do like Gingher, abut use my Fiskar soft-touch scissors the most ...they are easier on my hand which had surgery many years ago.

    I have Fiskars. They weren't real expensive and I like the weight of them. Some of the scissors are heavy.

    Thanks everyone for your replies and Ginghers certainly seem to be favourite ! I am going to a big quilt festival here in the UK next month, so I will be looking out for them !!
    hugs, DottyD.
