*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! :)
This is the first time I've ever done a comparison review, but I would like to share what I found out from two recent purchases. I needed embroidery/cross stitch scissors for a personal cross stitch project I am working on. After reading through the Amazon reviews, I was torn between the Gingher & TenderHeart 3.5inch "stork" scissors since both received decent reviews and appeared quite similar. These little Gingher scissors are amazing & simply blew me away. It is obvious when you first hold them in your hand and open and close them for the first time. Even though the TenderHeart scissors are fine and adequate, there is just no comparison when you have them side by side. The Gingher blades are thicker, better quality, heartier & seemed sharper than the TenderHeart pair. The best part though is the movement of the blades...... when opening and closing the Gingher scissors.... gratifying is the word that comes to mind.... they have a wonderful precise, crisp, smoother movement of the blades in comparison. And to boot, they are a few dollars cheaper than the TenderHeart pair, but since both are quite inexpensive, that was just an added plus! Money well spent and due to the impressive quality/construction of these adorable, little scissors, I will now be looking at some other scissors offered by Gingher since this was my first exposure to their company and it truly was just a pleasant surprise.
Additional note: I took them on the airplane in my carry-on luggage over Christmas vacation and there was never an issue with airline security!! Yay, because I would have hated to lose them!

Había dudado porque leí comentarios que eran muy pequeños los orificios para los dedos y para nada. Tengo manos grandes y están súper cómodas
They feel well-constructed and durable. I find myself constantly reaching for them in the short period of time since I've purchased them, especially for any kind of precision work.
I have noticed a very faint fading of the gold plating on one side of the inner outside edge of the finger holds. However, this doesn't bother me as it's not really visible unless you're really looking and under the right light. This is with a month's worth of daily use and I am not certain if they were already like this when they arrived.
The finger holds are smaller in proportion to the size of the scissors; this may potentially be an issue for very large hands. However, they have been used by every member of my household comfortably and without any issues.
Lastly, the scissors also come with a little leather case to protect the blades. This pouch doesn't feel flimsy and the blades fit quite snugly. You won't be able to wedge the scissors open after and the pouch stays firmly on them until pulled off.
All in all, this product would be an invaluable addition to any sewing kit--in particular if precision is required.
