🧵 SMITH CHU 12-inch Heavy Duty Sewing Scissors - Tailor Shears for Fabric, Leather, Raw Materials - Professional Upholstery Shears for Dressmakers, Students, Office Crafting Review

Very heavy. Cuts through things like butter. Good price but if buying for someone with arthritis they might be too heavy.

Bought these to replace a pair I got from my design school. I tried sharpening my other pair and when they didn't work I bought these. They are easy to use and come with a sharp-edged plastic pad. Most importantly, it works like a left-handed cutter for me.

I have many different scissors but this is the best. The scissors are heavy enough for professional sewing. What I like best is the sharpness of the blades. When cutting material with scissors, be careful that the seal separating the handle does not pinch the palm.

I am very pleased with the design and performance of these scissors. The reviews said the 12 inch screen was too big for full use so I bought the 11 inch screen and it's about as big as I can handle. My glove size is just under large so I'd say these are pretty average hands for a man. The tips match very well and could probably be used for gnawing 1000D Cordura which I often cut. I look forward to using them often.

They are a little heavier than I expected but excellent. I don't use them for normal things, but in the garden. I was fed up with gardening tools that couldn't handle things like thrift and sticks. I ended up using house scissors but it was slow and timely. Tried them out in minutes last night and did a great job. I love her! I know they're not meant for gardening, but they're long and so sharp it's now easy to trim the lighter, stiffer ones.
