Gingher G-8 8-Inch Knife-Edge Dressmaker's Shears Review

Gingher G-8 8-Inch Knife-Edge Dressmaker's Shears
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been given a pair of Gingher shears as a bridal shower gift (I made my own wedding dress) and they have been my favorites throughout the last 17 years. They are sharp right to the tips, an essential feature of the shears needed for trimming seams.
I purchased a second pair so that I'd have one to use while my originals went back to the Gingher factory for sharpening (a service they provide for a mere $7.50). I hope in time to have all Gingher shears in my sewing room!

In addition, stronger, thicker blades combined with a precision-ground knife edge ensure clean cutting all the way to the points. The shears feature a double-plated chrome-over-nickel finish for both a handsome look and long-lasting durability. A protective nylon sheath for storage comes included. The dressmaker's shears measure 2-4/5 by 1/2 by 8 inches and carry a limited lifetime warranty.

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch Review

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned several pair of Gingher sewing scissors. They have always been a bit fragile - drop them and they may never work right again, like the 5" craft scissors I had to replace a few years ago. Of course, that can be said for any scissor, probably.I haven't dropped these (yet!) but just the look of them is disappointing. Oh, they're functional, but they are little, if any, better than the el cheapo pair of double curve embroidery scissors I already have. The Ginghers I've had before always looked and felt well-made and cut smooth as butter. These Ginghers aren't finished well, and do not have the expensive look and feel that I have always expected from Gingher. After I bought the cheaper pair a few years ago, I always regretted that I hadn't gone for the Ginghers. Now I find that it really didn't make much difference anyway. Try Havel instead, if they have the style of scissor you want (they had nothing comparable to these.)

Mundial 585-CS Specialty Forged 6" Applique Scissors, Pelican Bill/Offset Blades Review

I purchased these scissors for a project I was doing with a reverse applique. They worked great and cut through the knit fabric with no problem at all and they weren't too heavy in my hand, which was a big plus. They were very comfortable to use once I got the hang of the odd shape. I would recommend these scissors if you do reverse appliques, for sure.
