Amazon, you really ought to fact-check your ads before placing them. Just a thought.
Now, onto the scissors ;-). These scissors truly look and feel like a fancy, shmancy, overpriced piece of German cutlery. At just over $20 a pop, I feel like I'm robbing Gingher, rather than vice versa as is with so many other companies.
These scissors have tiny little serrated "teeth", excellent for grasping slippery fabric or finer fabrics such as chiffon.
The blade is quite sharp; the scissors cut very efficiently; and these scissors posses the perfect amount of tension.
Be that as it may, I work with cotton/bamboo/hemp/pul/poly knits, organic fleeces, jerseys, and heavy duty velours. I make cloth diapers, cloth diaper accessories, and baby clothes. Also, I work with tons of elastic. These scissors are not the best for all of these fabrics.
In order, I love:
1) My 10" Kai Professional shears
2) Kretzer 9" Tailor shears
3) 9" Wiss Dressmaker shears
4) My 10" Gingher Dressmaker shears
I have small, skinny hands and as I've stated before, I work with very specific fabrics. My needs are fully met with the aforementioned scissors; however, the 8" Gingher micro-serrated are not a necessity.
Top reviews from other countries
After a little over a week and a half, I received the scissors in a packaged sleeve. The sleeve itself was damaged, but the box inside was immaculate if not a little difficult to pry open due to the top adhesive. Beyond that, the scissors were easy to take out of the box with its sleeve next to it. It also came off as well made and had an even balance without being too heavy on either side. With that in mind, all that was left was to test them on the fabrics I commonly use.
As someone with big hands, the handles were comfortable enough for a few hours use at a time but I could only use 4 of my 5 fingers for grip. Initially, I also found that there was a little more friction than needed, so I followed the box instructions and added a drop of oil to the pivot. The result? An immaculate cut. Silk and PVC are especially my forte and considering their reputations for sliding and needing great sharpness, both were tamed instantly, removing the mild wrestle of correction from my work.
Overall, the build quality, sharpness and comfort were mostly top notch and to say im now an avid fan of Gingher is an understatement. I look forward to the experience of the non-serrated blade and embroidery scissors I also have on order from this brand. 9/10
