After reading your reviews, I bought a Kai 8" dressmakers scissors (V5210) on Amazon. It does cut very well, but is a little too big and heavy for my hand. I've had all the good brands, starting with Wiss, then Ginghers, then Fiskars. I'm going back to Fiskars because they cut well, fit my hand, are light weight and inexpensive ($8.98 on Amazon). I'll keep the Kai, but they're not my favorite. Love hearing about what you like!
