Shears

1. I switched from Gingher to Kai. As one reader said, “they’re all that and a cup of coffee.” Super sharp and precise. I like their pinking shears, too.

2. I’m a big fan of Ginghers. You can send them back any of their scissors for sharpening and repair for a really cheap price – maybe US$8?

3. I’ve used a lot of Ginghers, but went with the 8″ Kai when it came time to buy a new set. No regrets whatsoever

4. I have had my Ginghers for 25 years now. They still work great. I get them sharpened from time to time at my local sewing machine shop.

5. I love my Ginghers, but I could be tempted away.

   I spent almost the entire day yesterday cutting so I could sew a bunch of garments production style and the part of my hand between the base of my thumb and the bottom of my index finger is KILLING me today. If anyone has figured out a solution to that, let me know, because OUCH.

6. I bought the Kai 7250 SL (10″ professional shears) a couple of years ago and I love it. The handles are so comfortable; I can’t stand handles in metal. It was a bit of an investment, but one that will last me the next couple of decades.

   I hope! 🙂

7. Gingher and Fiskars are made by the same company. Kai and Gingher both come highly recommended, although I favor Kai.

8. That is a hard choice. I am trying to learn to use the rotary cutter better. I use the Olfa brand cutters and cutting boards. I really love the Gingher scissors and I’ve heard excellent things about the Kai scissors as well. The Gingher scissors can be re-sharpened. I’m not sure if the same holds true for the Kai. Thanks, Kathy

9. My mom gave me a pair of gingher and I LOVE LOVE them. They belonged to my Grandmother but still cut like a dream.
