If you're going to use other blades than Ginghers (I've never seen them), it seems pointless to spend extra money for the cutter.
Established in 1649, Fiskars is the oldest company in Finland.
My husband worked for Fiskars in the 1980’s ~the power conditioning division. He sold UPS units for computers, etc. They gave scissors away with “Fiskars-the cutting edge in power” stamped on the blade covers. I’m still using several of those and have given many to family and friends for gifts.
I don’t think they are related to Gingher unless it’s a very recent join.
“For over 54 years, Gingher has been recognized for their premier line of cutting implements for home sewing, crafts, needlework and industry.
By the time our scissors leave our factory in Greensboro, North Carolina, they have been touched more than fifty times by our own craftspeople. It is for this reason we can truly say, "from our hands to yours."
