Review on ✂️ Discover the Kai 7280 11 Inch Professional Scissors (7280) - Cut with Precision and Professionalism! by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not Sharp, it's literally their only job

Failed to load media. We are an upholstery shop that almost exclusively uses Kai scissors. We usually buy them at our local sewing shop, but on a whim I ordered this pair for one of our Revain guys. Almost immediately I noticed some problems: the tips of the scissors are not pointed, but rounded. And the scissors just won't cut the material through the center of the blades. I am including pictures and videos showing the difference between a 'new' pair of scissors and a LOT of old scissors that have been sharpened many times. The larger 7280s are the "new" scissors for stills. You can see the difference in the logos. In the video I used the third pair to cut the fabric, they were even bigger than the 7280, this is the second pair I use and they cut the fabric crisp and clear with no problems. They are used intensively (5 hours a day, 5 days a week) and are at least 3 years old. The new (smaller) pair can't even make a clean cut. I'm not sure if they were incorrectly sharpened at some point (where?), or maybe it's "seconds"? Either way, a brand new pair of Kais is a sight to behold, and these just *are* not. You come back and we stay with our local guy. I will no longer buy online.
