Gingher 8 Knife Edge Blunt Utility Shears

Ill admit that Ive been disappointed in this product. I do a lot of leather work using 5-7 ounce leather, and these shears do cut through it, but not as easily as so many reviews claim. I find myself having to massage my hand due to the strain after just a few cuts. I primarily use a utility knife and only use the shears when making tightly-curved cuts would be difficult with the utility knife, but I rarely find these curved cuts to be particularly smooth/nice as I was used to with my previous leather shears. As far as I know, its not my method thats yielding these results, since I have cut countless tight curves with my previous shears without the same kind of quality issue. All in all, these shears gets the job done and are good for someone doing a lot of wide curves or straight cuts, but when it comes to wanting a small curve to look smooth, I actually find myself going out of my way to avoid using them.

Good deal

I have used Gingher scissors for over three decades. They are wonderful tools.

These are THE BEST leather shears I have come across. They cut through the thickest leathers like butter, as if it were nothing.....no force involved by me. I also love that they arent sharp so I dont accidentally jab myself.

Ease of using

These shears are great..and they are really sharp..love them..I cut faux fur and the leather shears are the only ones I have found that stay sharp cutting ..

cutting leather for knife sheaths.

very nice shears,use them on .30 leather

Scissors felt really uncomfortable. The finger loops make out difficult control the shears.

These are ginger scissors, but not what I expected. Very sharp.
