Review on Gingher 8-Inch Dressmaker's Shears with Knife Edge by Tara Ford

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Clear brand with hard plastic body

Hello, I wanted to post this in response to some posts that made me doubt my purchase. First, in response to plain unbranded scissors, it is obvious that they are commercially packaged and labeled. The body comes with a standard hard plastic blade cover that will not fall off. Fits tight. I bought expensive velvet lined scissors from a metal sheath that I never used and I'm pretty sure 1/3 the price came from the sheath. The blade is sharp, although not magical, which is to be expected. It's easy enough to cut through a piece of rolled up canvas after the first bite. Cuts cleaning tissue from neck to tip. My hands are six inches tall and four inches wide, and I was able to fit all 4 fingers in the bottom, wider opening of the handle, even though my pinky was cramped. All of this is to say that if you haven't found a fabric cutting roll, you're missing out. Rollerblades outperform scissors when it comes to cutting fabric. It's been so long since I've cut the main pieces of fabric with scissors that I can't remember where I stashed the aforementioned expensive scissors. Now I'm making fabric flowers, and the blade and small scissors aren't enough. Hope that helps.
