KAI5135 5 1/2-inch Embroidery Scissors

I love Kai scissors. They’re well-made their sharp. It’s just a nice.

Perfect scissor for material, paper and basically a lot more. I’ve been very happy and it cuts great. Really very sharp.

They aren’t as cute as the crane scissors, but they’re the sharpest and most precise I’ve ever used. I have two pairs, one for metal threads and one for regular, and I’m amazed how well the pair I use for metal threads is holding up. The metal is actually quality so they can have an incredibly thin blade that is still strong and holds an edge. Worth the price, better than dozens of other pairs I’ve tried.

Awesome scissors, cuts quickly and crisply.

My wife sews professionally. She does alterations, repairs, and custom sewing. She stays pretty busy at it, and all of her customers compliment her very skilled work.Like many others have mentioned, for a long time we both thought that Gingher scissors were the best. We were loyal to Gingher. Grandma has a wonderful pair of Gingher scissors. But we've now been struggling with the poor quality of late production Gingher scissors for several years. Twice, we've sent scissors in to Gingher for servicing, but they come back little better. Gingher scissor will variously grab in spots, not cut at the very ends of the blades, or be hard to close. Cindy had resorted to using a pair of $10 Fiskar scissors, which aren't great, but they cut better than her Gingher's. Wanting to help her with this problem, and after reading so many positive reviews, I took it upon myself to order her a pair of these Kai brand.Cindy has been thrilled with her Kai scissors. She'll talk about them to anyone who cares to listen. About her four different pair she says, "They;re comfortable to use, require very little force to cut even heavy fabrics, they cut the sheerest fabrics just as well, they are sharp, and the cut well right out to the tips of the blades."With the cost of even sending a pair of Gingher scissors to Gingher for servicing at $12 a pair, plus shipping costs to get them to Gingher, it's an easy decision to just throw them away. Then spend to only few more dollars to get a pair of these fantastic Kai scissors.I like using good tools myself, so I'm happy to help supply my wife with the best tools she can own. I was so pleased with my wife's reaction to her first pair of $22 8-inch Dressmaker Shears that we bought three more Kai scissors; this pair of Embroidery Scissors, an 8-inch pair of the Professional series, and a 10-inch Professional series. She's a professional and she deserves professional tools.Maybe Grandma will leave us the good Gingher scissors in her will, but there's still no way they can be better than these Kai scissors. We would prefer to buy an American product, but can't afford to subsidize poor American quality.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now, After two years of using her Kai scissors almost every day. my wife says the three large pair still cut like new. She uses this pair of embroidery scissors every day to cut thread at her sewing machine. This is a LOT of use for these little scissors and they've finally gotten to where they don't cut well on the last 1/2-inch of the tips where she uses them the most. This isn't at all disappointing, but it is time to order another pair. Professionals expect to wear out tools eventually.Also, shortly after trying out Cindy's Kai scissors, even grandma put her Gingher scissors away for good when her beau bought her a set of Kai scissors. She also says, "Wow, I can't imagine how I got along without these."

Fits comfortably in my without stress. Sharp enough to accomplish the task. The prefect size for medium to small projects.

The pair I received is made is Vietnam. As of this writing, the preview image clearly shows made in Japan so that needs to be updated.The Vietnam model seems like a good scissor but nowhere near the perfection achieved by Japanese models I have in my collection.

very good brand
