Product Description
Gingher Knife-edge Dressmaker Shears are meticulously crafted of premium, forged steel with long, precision-ground blades that cut multiple layers of fabric easily, all the way to the tip.

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 Fiskars scissors also include a protective nylon sheath for storage among your other quilting supplies when not in use.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Style: 8" DressmakerVerified PurchaseBest scissors EVER! Sharp, cut smoothly anywhere on the blades, the tip cuts 5 mm macrame cord like butter! I've tried other scissors, even those "made for macrame" nothing comes close. As I said I use for macrame. I get clean cuts, easy to use scissors. No need to try to "saw" through many cords at a time. These just cut right through which is great because I have arthritis and can"t handle trying to squeeze scissors to cut cleanly. Definitely recommend! Worth the money!!!!!! Do yourself a favor... buy these scissors. You'll be glad you did!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2011Style: 7" Knife EdgeVerified PurchaseI remember the special occasion when I was younger and my mom was given a pair of what I believe were the equivalent of the 8" dressmakers shears. She was ecstatic and proceeded to use them with care for many years. She still uses them today. I recently got into sewing and thought there might be something better out there since technology was sure to develop over 15 years. I was wrong, Gingher is still number one, and their classic style still dominates. I purchased this 7" pair and absolutely love them. They come in a lovely red lined tin. There is no leather sheath included with this model, so if that bothers you then I would recommend getting the 8" dressmaker shears because they do come with a tin and the sheath. Personally, this does not bother me because I don't have to worry about any little ones or pets hurting themselves.
When you first open the tin, the shiny scissors scream quality. When you pick up the scissors, you instantly recognize that they are well balanced. The center balance point is just in front of where your index finger goes in the lower blade. The weight is substantial but not burdensome at 1/4 pound exactly. I like the 7" size because I feel like I have good control over my cuts. They are very sharp and, while I plan on purchasing a pair of Gingher 4" embroidery scissors for the task, they are useful in nipping threads and cutting seams. These scissors had no problem cutting through multi-layer (sometimes 4-5 times thick!) duck canvas on a project I recently finished where I made reusable shopping bags.
These scissors have marking under the "Gingher" logo stating that they are made in Italy. It is my understanding that the blade sharpening takes place in South Carolina. The tin they come in is made in China.
One other reviewer mentioned that they had issues with rust on their scissors. I live in a fairly dry climate (Colorado Springs), so this is not an issue for me. I can't help but wonder whether this reviewer lives in a very humid climate, or if the scissors are stored in an area that experiences a lot of moisture. These scissors are not made of any materials different than other Gingher models, so you can rest assured you are getting the best quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013Style: 3.5" Embroidery - StorkVerified PurchaseI'd never heard of these Cult-classic, original Gingher Stork "embroidery" scissors, until I became a new Mom, & rc'd as a gift from my very kind and wealthy Aunt.
*Sidebar- My childhood memories are that my Aunt always had the finest of everything I'd never heard of: Thick, soft, luxurious, decadent, sumptuous Egyptian cotton /European bed & bath linens, custom-made leather furniture, German Knives in Block, gorgeous artisan Stoneware tableware, commercial grade glasswear & German-made stainless steel drinking cups, + kitchen commercial grade, 2 ft- thick SOLID, butcher-block counter island (40 yrs. before it was commercially popularized), + industrial/commercial grade appliances, finest household goods (even soaps/shampoo's), European wardrobe, high-end, (never-heard-of European cosmetics, etc...) Plus, a frequent world-traveler w/ a maid/nanny & always-clean house (even with 3 young children- my cousins), etc. Everything she owned was investment/lifetime- heirloom quality, German & European quality constructed. She didn't buy a lot, but instead, only bought the best.*
Back to reality- We are not wealthy :) Now, 18 yrs. after my Aunt so wisely and thoughtfully gifted these Stork scissors to me upon becoming a new Mom, my "baby" is leaving for college next month. As I sort through what we already have, & what we'll need to buy for her dorm-life (& beyond), I realize how indispensable these Gingher scissors are to us! :) In retrospect, I suppose I've used them practically daily, to quickly precision snip something-or-other, for nearly 2 decades (& counting). They're still as-new: German engineered quality craftsmanship, combining Art & Function- w/ endless uses!
My daughter was using them constantly too (still does!)- She'd ask permission to "borrow" them, made sure to return "Mommy's good scissors", but aometimes forgot where she so carefully "remembered" to return them <3 So, by the time she was 8 or 9 yrs. old, we agreed/ implemented the Stork scissors rule: (Safety 1st- ALWAYS!). She may use them without asking my permission 1st, & after each use, w/o being told to do so, they must be immediately returned to my top desk drawer. (Mom follows same rule, lol!) Being entrusted to use the fancy grown-up scissors without asking, was a huge source of pride for her!
These little miracle scissors are one of the small comforts / conveniences of home... We'd be lost w/o them. I've now purchased my daughter her own pair, + back-ups for each of us. I'd always just assumed that these were cost-prohibitive. I tried buying an "off brand" for $6, w/o even bothering to see that these authentic Gingher's cost just $12! Best $12 I've ever invested! (They cost much more elsewhere- And I tossed the no-name brand). Oh, btw- If you are wondering about the finger-hole size- They fit my daughter's slender, delicate fingers with room to spare, and my own fatter / larger fingers just fine, too. (I've shattered my wrist & thumb, & broken all my fingers/knuckles, rollerblading & skiing- This means my fingers are no longer long, straight & slender, but rather, a bit bent, enlarged at the knuckle joints, and swollen in cold, wet weather). No matter, these Stork Scissor's still fit perfectly. If you are on the fence about whether to buy these, forget it- Buy them & stash in your office desk drawer or kitchen junk drawer nearby.
Below is information & opinion copied from a sewing/cutlery specialty shoppe called The Silver Needle (Where these stork scissors are sold for $24-$58/each + S&H):
"These are absolutely top quality German Solingen Steel scissors manufactured by Gingher. The Solingen Region of Germany is an area world-renown for top quality cutlery. All feature stainless steel cutting blades, and gold plating... just lovely! Excellent cutting action, smooth blades, with nice, sharp tips! Gingher has a lifetime warranty on their products, covering the steel quality and design. They have a reconditioning service available in the US, approx $6.95, to recondition any of their scissors, if needed. It includes sharpening, tightening and lubrication... and I think that's a great bonus for the product!"
Thx for reading this novel, buy, enjoy! :)

- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: 8" DressmakerVerified PurchaseSince I do a lot of quilting and general sewing, I need a really good pair of scissors. But because I'm cheap, I've never allowed myself to spend the money on a really good pair. I have a pair of the Gingher snippers and I love them. When these 8" shears went on sale, I caved and bought them. I am sooooooooo glad I did. They cut through fabric like butter and have a wonderful weight to them. Even the tips are super sharp and make the tiniest snips easily.
I love these shears. If you do a lot of sewing of any kind, don't wait to get a pair of these. They are awesome!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Style: 8" DressmakerVerified PurchaseThese scissors are perfect. German made for 54 years. Very well made, and super sharp, comfortable to hold, good angle, solid forged steel. They will last a lifetime with proper care. They come with a fitted sheath which is nice for safety and storage. Gingher offers a sharpening/maintenance service for $15 as well. .i highly recommend these.
