Gingher Knife-edge Serrated Dressmaker Shears are meticulously crafted of premium, forged steel with long, precision-ground blades. They also feature a serrated blade that gently grips fabric so the knife-edge blade can make a clean, precise cut through smooth, lightweight fabric as well as multiple layers of heavier fabric - all the way to the tip. The longer cut length makes them the ideal craft scissors for cutting patterns, trimming seams, or cutting long swaths of fabric. The double-plated chrome-over-nickel blade finish is both striking and durable. A bent handle design helps hold fabric flat on your work surface for smooth, comfortable, mistake-free cutting. These Gingher scissors also include a protective plastic sheath for storage among your other quilting supplies when not in use.
