Gingher 8 Knife Edge Blunt Utility Shears

Excellent and super sharp.

I bought these for my husband because he makes leather goods/tack and was in need of a good pair of scissors. He was super impressed with these! He immediately grabbed a thick piece of leather and they cut right through them like it was nothing. I tried myself (being the weakly woman) and they are definitely the best pair of shears Ive ever used! Great purchase for what he does! I wouldnt mind having some for myself!

I misplaced my old leather shears that Ive had for the last 12 years, and I was worried that I wouldnt find another pair as good as they were. I bought these and have been very pleased with them. They are extremely sharp, cut smoothly, and are big enough for my big hands. I do wish the teeth on the bottom were a bit more aggressive, for when I cut heavier leather, but I can use them the way they are.

Really, really, REALLY GREAT! If you havent had a pair of Gingher Shears, you dont know what youre missing. Treat yourself and buy some real quality that will last a lifetime.

Very sharp and excellent quality. I wanted to have these available in case of emergency such as needing to cut a dog collar off and fortunately have not had to use them. I think they would cut most anything.

I have two pair of these shears. My first I bought over 25 years ago, when I could barely afford them, as additions to my growing Professional Propmaker’s tool collection. SERIOUS scissors! I labeled them “DO NOT BORROW” because the knife edge can be easily damaged by dummies. I was working in my small workshop on Spielberg’s film “Hook”, when an Art Department designer came into my sop after hours, and cut SKATEBOARD GRIP TAPE with them!!! Well, as you can imagine, they were MESSED UP! I was ANGRY! I raised HELL and eventually the Perp’ came forward. He got to buy me a NEW pair, and have the old ones re-sharpened. And apologize. Both those scissors are going strong these many years later. They cut thick material, thin, fibrous, rough and fine fabrics, rubbery, adhesive tapes, anything but grip tape, or the like, really. I LOVE them. You cant do better for this kind of non-serrated scissor. Ginger is a great company. Made in Brazil, last I checked, where many fine cutting tools are made.

I do leather crafting and needed new shears for cutting. These cut 7 oz like butter! And they’re cheaper than many out there.

Sharp.

Fantastic . They cut 4-5 mm thick leather perfectly .

Ive cut through 12oz leather with these from edge to edge of the blades with absolutely minimal effort. Youre getting an actual tool for your money. Simple as that ! They came with a plastic sheath, but it was a good excuse to make a real one from leather cut by these.
