Pinking Shears
 

I have had a pair of Fiskar pinking shears for a couple of years now and they hurt my hand when I use them. They just seem heavy and clunky to me. Is there a brand that is lighter weight and cuts like butter? I have the scalloped blade for my rotary cutter, (never used) but prefer to use a good pair of pinkers.

I have never found a lightweight pair. Fiskars are always my favorite cutting supplies.

Have you tried loosening up the screw on them? Mine were very tight and that helped a little. They are heavy, though.

I bought these and they are very light weight and and sharp. I bought them at Amazon in 2019 and still cutting like new. I gave my old heavy pair away. They were dull and I had them sharpened and made them worse. These were much cheaper then the cost of the sharpening anyway. $9.99 today's price.

Here is the very long link to those sheers:

you can get a pinking shear rotary blade for your rotary cutter. easier on the hands!

How do you use those? As you’re cutting out pieces? Maybe adding to the seam allowance?

Trying to envision this and failing. . .

How big are they? I have small hands and the ones I have are just too big to be easy for me to use.

I used mine when cutting some shapes to fuse onto a jacket….BUT…. You have to be especially diligent about where you place your blades, as it can eat up the edges on your ruler….and yes I am still using that poor ruler 😀
