Gingher 7” Knife Edge Bent Dressmaker Shears

Love them work beautifully

EXCELLENT SEWING SHEARS!

I love the size of these scissors. The scissors cut really well.

These are wonderful as all of gingher products are...highly recommend....thanks

This is our second pair of these scissors - we purchased a second pair to keep one upstairs and one downstairs they are true precision scissors and work extremely well. We keep ours stored in the original metal tin they originally came in.

My story began the night before Christmas and as usual I was up until 3am sewing! The reason I was up sewing so late is because I had gone through 3 pairs of DULL scissors, 2 old sewing machines and 1 new sewing machine and NOTHING was going as it should. After that night I decided to purchase some "real" scissors". Never will I buy cheap scissors again. These Gingher 7-inch shears cut like a dream and feel great in my hand. On top of everything else I got them a day early. Thanks, Amazon for making my life so much easier with the purchases I made on line this last month!

I purchased these for sewing and embroidery stuff that I am doing. They did a very great job of cutting through 4 layers of felt. I was able to do this and was a very smooth operation. I have had other shears In the past and they did not do this as good as these did. I think the price is very good for these shears and would like to have a second pair to have on hand. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a very good pair of shears to get the job done without any issues. I purchased these as the reviews were stating they are great and found out they are. You can not go wrong with purchasing them.

I remember the special occasion when I was younger and my mom was given a pair of what I believe were the equivalent of the 8" dressmakers shears. She was ecstatic and proceeded to use them with care for many years. She still uses them today. I recently got into sewing and thought there might be something better out there since technology was sure to develop over 15 years. I was wrong, Gingher is still number one, and their classic style still dominates. I purchased this 7" pair and absolutely love them. They come in a lovely red lined tin. There is no leather sheath included with this model, so if that bothers you then I would recommend getting the 8" dressmaker shears because they do come with a tin and the sheath. Personally, this does not bother me because I don't have to worry about any little ones or pets hurting themselves. When you first open the tin, the shiny scissors scream quality. When you pick up the scissors, you instantly recognize that they are well balanced. The center balance point is just in front of where your index finger goes in the lower blade. The weight is substantial but not burdensome at 1/4 pound exactly. I like the 7" size because I feel like I have good control over my cuts. They are very sharp and, while I plan on purchasing a pair of Gingher 4" embroidery scissors for the task, they are useful in nipping threads and cutting seams. These scissors had no problem cutting through multi-layer (sometimes 4-5 times thick!) duck canvas on a project I recently finished where I made reusable shopping bags. These scissors have marking under the "Gingher" logo stating that they are made in Italy. It is my understanding that the blade sharpening takes place in South Carolina. The tin they come in is made in China. One other reviewer mentioned that they had issues with rust on their scissors. I live in a fairly dry climate (Colorado Springs), so this is not an issue for me. I can't help but wonder whether this reviewer lives in a very humid climate, or if the scissors are stored in an area that experiences a lot of moisture. These scissors are not made of any materials different than other Gingher models, so you can rest assured you are getting the best quality.

I have arthritis in my hands. I tried the spring type that another company makes but my hands still became fatigued and ached. I was told to try these. They cut fabric as if you were icing room temperature butter! I still like to sew and I try to cut appliques and fabric as I can. I can't used a rotary cutter for everything. I have to say these are amazing. They are comfortable, sharp and they have perfect hard blades. If you look at some you will notice the blades aren't perfectly shaped or balanced. These are quality made. I put a padlock on mine so hubby doesn't use them. Lol would buy again and again!!
