Fiskars Nonstick 8" Bent Scissor Review

Fiskars Nonstick 8 Bent Scissor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use the Fiskars Nonstick 8" Bent Scissor and the Fiskars Nonstick 5" Scissor for crafting with duct tape. There isn't much that sticks more obnoxiously than duct tape but these Fiskars nonstick scissors snip right through the tape as if it were nothing more than paper. Try getting a few straight cuts through duct tape with standard scissor if you dare.
Very little tape sticks to these scissors at all even on large projects and you can very easily clean any sticky with a quick rag swipe or a single dab of clean tape. Try that with standard scissors and you will be sorely disappointed and probably quite frustrated (at least I was). These nonstick scissors are a life saver. Leave it to Fiskars to come up with the smart solution!
The 8" bent scissors are very ergonomic and are the size and shape of the good sewing scissors many ladies (and gentleman who sew) don't let anybody touch - perfect for clean cuts on just about any medium to large project and great for just about any standard cutting job.
The 5" scissors are fantastic for detail cuts and small projects. Both scissors are ergonomic and your hands don't get tired quickly with a lot of cutting with either pair - though I wouldn't use the 5" pair for large cutting jobs.
I am considering purchasing another pair of these Fiskars Nonstick 8" Bent Scissor for general kitchen use. What a pain always having to clean sticky stuff off my standard kitchen scissors. These are far more durable and easier to clean.
Thank you for a fantastic solution, Fiskars!

I am left handed and have never been able to find pinking shears that worked for me in my 50+ years of sewing. I have arthritis in my hands and these shears are gentle and cut well. I highly recommend them.

I ship packages every day. Good scissors are important to me. These are quite good, but not as good as the pair I bought five years ago. Fiskars is cheapening up everything. I bought some of their yard trimmers and they're not worth using. It's still an okay brand overall, but it's no longer a great brand. But I'll buy these scissors again, I am sure.

A useful addition to any crafter's collection of tools, this pair of sewing scissors features sharp, steeply angled blades designed to ensure accurate, precise cuts. Use it to cut anything from corduroy and denim to quilts, wool, and a full range of other materials. The unit's Razor Edged cutting blades quickly and efficiently cut through multiple layers of fabric at a time, while its easy-action spring brings the cutting blades back into an open position after each compression, assisting in an effortless forward motion. Even more, the pair of scissors provides ergonomically designed handles, one open and one enclosed, each fitted with cushioned material for comfort. When finished, close the blades and slide the lock in place for safe, compact storage in a drawer or sewing basket. The pair of scissors measures approximately 2 by 4 by 12 inches.

No, these aren't the most awesome scissors you'll ever use. The embroidery scissors I'd purchased at a high-end sewing store are much smoother than the ones here, and feel much more solid under my fingers. On the other hand, that single set of embroidery scissors cost as much as this entire package of five!
The price is very good for this set, which includes the scissors most households will use most often, under most circumstances. It's a good value with decent quality.

I have a pair of buttonhole scissors just like this only made in Germany for Singer. The screw on the side prevents cutting through the stitching. Make a few practice buttonholes and try the scissors on that. What's your alternative?...an Exacto knife or some other scary tool?

Mundial 801 Specialty Forged 4 1/2" Thread Clip Review

Mundial 801 Specialty Forged 4 1/2 Thread Clip
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this thread clip more than any other cutting tool I own. It hangs from a cord around my neck at least eight hours daily. So far, I've replaced the cord three times, but the clip is still sharp and cuts like new. I use it mainly when precise thread cutting is essential, when cutting loose threads around the hem of a garment, and when cutting registration marks in fabric (it works much better than scissors for this, trust me!).
It is small, but the chrome plated carbon steel gives it a weighty, substantial quality that is lacking in cheaper plastic versions.
For those of us with large hands, this is a friendly alternative to tiny thread scissors. It's better because there is only one finger hole (generously sized) and the rest of my hand wraps freely around the clip. Since it must be squeezed in order to cut, I would not recommend it to people with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis.

My old Wiss pinking shears have lived a useful life, but are no longer sharp and no one sharpens scissors any more. I decided to treat my self to a pair of Ginghers because I've always known the company makes a quality product, but haven't been able to afford them until recently. What a treat! These scissors cut through fabric with no effort and are a wonderful tool for anyone who sews. Further, Gingher will sharpen them, when necessary and guarantees them for life. I was fortunate enough to purchase my Ginghers from an Amazon partner at an unbelievable price. I've also noticed that one can sometimes get a bargain from several on-line auction sites, but if you need pinking shears and can't or don't want to fool around with an auction, these are definitely worth paying full price for.

Wow these things cut like you wouldn't believe. The only anoyance is that the holster that is included from Gingher is for the right hand scissors so they don't even fit in the holster. You would think if they would bother making a decorative tin and everything they could at least make the product work. But other than that these things are great.

Super sharp and cuts fabric like butter. The blades are firmly set, quite tight and the handle is comfortable but not overly mushy (feels more like plastic than a rubber grip. Great scissors for a sewing enthusiast.

Don't trust important projects to just any pair of scissors. Crafted especially with sewing and quilting enthusiasts in mind, this pair of razor-edged bent scissors features two unique blades: a sharper blade that slices cleanly through many types of fabric, from delicate silks to plushy cottons, and a thick, robust blade that provides balance, aiding in a steady hand and even slicing. Even more, the unit's solid metal joint lends a smooth operating motion, while its contoured Softgrip handle offers comfortable and ergonomically friendly use from one project to the next. An essential addition to any craft room or sewing table, the razor-edged scissors measure approximately 10-8/9 by 5 by 1 inches.
