5.0 out of 5 stars Gingher is Best!, October 11, 2008

By	Judith A. Brodnicki (Omaha, Nebraska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been given a pair of Gingher shears as a bridal shower gift (I made my own wedding dress) and they have been my favorites throughout the last 17 years. They are sharp right to the tips, an essential feature of the shears needed for trimming seams.

I purchased a second pair so that I'd have one to use while my originals went back to the Gingher factory for sharpening (a service they provide for a mere $7.50). I hope in time to have all Gingher shears in my sewing room!

5.0 out of 5 stars If there are heirloom scissors, these would be it., November 30, 2008

By	AcousticSheep, LLC "AcousticSheep, LLC" (Bellefonte, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It cuts through multiple pieces of fabric cleaning all the way to the tip. It's a bit heavy, but I like the feel of the weight. Take good care of them (don't cut tape or wires), have them sharpened, and they should last forever. Don't forget the left handed version too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Cutting Fabric a Breeze, August 4, 2008

By	delicateflower152 (Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I can't say enough good things about Gingher scissors. They cut through light and medium weight cloths like a hot knife going through butter. They operate smoothly and are well balanced. Further, with the dearth of scissor-sharpening options available these days, it is nice to know that Gingher will sharpen their scissors when that operation is necessary. I'm replacing all my scissors with Ginghers!
