These are terrificly sharp and create an excellent "pinked" edge. These will cut through heavy fabrics with ease. I am very pleased with these shears and the price is a real bonus.

I gave these to my mother and she absolutely loves them and mentions it frequently. They are very good quality and work very well. She uses them constantly when she's sewing. Instead of zig-zaging fabric edges to keep them from fraying, she uses these to finish the edges and she's able to finish her projects more quickly.

These were purchased for an apparel design office where we work with fabric swatches on a regular basis. They work just fine.

Much better than the heavy pinking shears I remember from Home Ec. Ligthweight and very sharp,they are comfortable to use, even with my somewhat arthritic hands.

great value and brand name on a hard-to-find type of scissors (these were given as a gift)

Light, comfortable and above all they cut right! The price-tag on these also makes them super economical without the "cheap".

The pinking shears have bolts to keep the blades together. The bolts are too thick and prevent the blades from moving easily, even after oiling them.

Usually a great product but these are very hard to use and after cutting for a while, they freeze up and can't be opened. Tried spraying CRC and that worked for a short itme. I use these for cutting small circles of fabric to top jelly jars and cut many yards at a time. It seems they are defective.

These cut the fabric with ease and does it's job well. However, opening it is a little stiff. After cutting a bunch of half yards of fabric, my middle finger, which bore the brunt of the lifting action, is still swollen a day after and there is a tiny sore on it. I'm only 28 and my hands don't have and arthritic problems or anything. These scissors would be good for projects that require some trimming here and there, but not for projects that require a lots of it. I guess I should have bought a rotary style cutter instead.

For the price this is a great pair of pinking shears. It has good teethes that really grip into the material, even with silk chameuse. Although with light and slippery materrial it is not easy to navigate the cut and will require some patience! Otherwise, super happy working with this pair of scissors. In hind sight I am glad I bought this lighter pair as a heavier pair would really make it hard to use on slippery and light fabrics.
