    I forgot to mention the handles have a rubberized grip making these scissors comfortable to hold and work with. What scissors are you using?

      Be aware that these people do not respond to any communications from their customers. I do not know how they are getting these flowering reviews. They are not even shipping my order though they have charged my card for them. I have emailed them multiple times and gotten absolutely no response. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!!!

    Since you have music over your video we can't hear the sound of the blade. When doing this kind of review, you might want to not use music over the sound of the scissors. IMO music is unnecessary and even a hindrance in how-to and review videos.

    IF they get "gritty" in the action you will think they need lubricating - they DONT they need CLEANING. something about these they tend to pick up a lot of dust etc?

      If you want to blunt your scissors quickly, cut paper.
      My late mother used to have a pair of dressmaking scissors which looked very much like Ginghers, but I don't recall the brand. What I do remember is that I was forbidden to use them on paper - which for the kind of things I did as a kid, pretty much ruled me out from using them.
      So how do you cut paper? With a guillotine (which does a better job), or a pair of scissors that doesn't matter too much.

What's the best pair of scissors, I can buy for her please? I can't find Gingher in my country, only KAI, Fiskars,Singer and Chinese similar to the one here on this video. Would KAI Dressmaker knife edge, be the best for her, or order the non knife edge version? Please, I need the best for her, She deserves it. I Just need a suggestion please

    I just got mine, I think the bogus 50% off sale is a bad idea myself, I realised it was a never ending 6 hours left sale before I bought and I very nearly did not buy because of that deceptive marketing tactic, but..
    They came today and there was a little oil on the blades but very little, the handles someone else said were sticky rubber and I doi not find that to be the case at all, they are smooth and comfortable to use.
    I touched the cutting face of the blades with a finger, and for the first time ever I thought to myself dont ever do that again! I only touched them lightly but they cut my skin, not to the pint they bled because I was gentle, but man they are SHARP! DO NOT RUN A FINGER ALONG THOSE BLADES!
    I am not a scissor snb by any stretch, I have a pair of fiskars fabric shears I have had for many years and they still cut but not nearly as smooth or easy as these, nor have they EVER cut as smooth or easy as these. Cutting a doubled over tea towel with the guttenheim took barely any more force than closing the empty shears.
    I cant speak for the longevity of course, but at the moment I have to say I have never been as impressed with a tool as I am with this,they are a work of art!
