I have a pair of Friskar's Razor-Edged Scissors that are incredibly awesome. I've had them for about 6 years, and they are still as sharp as the day I bought them. Somehow I frequently end up running them across a finger and cut my own self!
I only own one small pair of 4" Gingers, so can't add to that conversation. I just know the Razor-Edged Friskar's are my go-to scissors, and have held up extremely well. I think they're reasonably priced, even though I paid much less for mine then they cost today.
Hope this helps,

I was sold on Fiskars until I inherited my grandmother's Ginghers scissors ... a whole container of them. :) I'm still going through her stuff, so I don't even know exactly what kind of Ginghers are in there, but just one use of the 8" (or so?) pair was enough to sell me on them! :thumbup:
They're so sharp I bet they could cut thread in half length-wise! ;) :lol:

It included 7" shears, hinged ones that pull apart, snips, embroidery scissors and a small multi purpose pair. Happy snipping!
I like Fiskar too. I don't have any trouble sharpening them using the Fiskar sharpener --no idea where I got it.

First of all, I, too, have a pair of Ginghers from the 60's that are still in wonderful condition. These were the ones that I threatened my children with loss of life and limb if I ever saw them cutting paper with them!!
I still use them occasionally, but mostly I use my Fiskars, in 3 different sizes, because of the tendonitis in my thumbs. I really like them, and they're sure easy on arthritic hands.

Scissors are a very personnal item because we all have the need for a different feel and cut. I have Weiss, Gingher, Fiskars and Kai and love each pair for the job they do. I even have a no name pair that was very cheap and just love them. Maybe a small grouping of them would make a nice gift.
