These are perfect scissors for appliqué and embroidery plus they are very sharp. No regrets with purchase. Love them

Excellent, strong, sharp scissors. Precise.

Love these scissors. I use them to cut RC and Fiber photo paper because I needed something with ultra precision, and I love them. Also great as sewing and fabric scissors, but found they worked phenomenally for an art purpose as well. Worth every penny—super sharp, great serrated edge, weight was not too heavy—really pleased with the purchase.

Cut so sharp it’s incredible and like that they came with a protective case to not have to store them forever in the packaging it came in. These are amazing I wish I had bought a pair sooner!

I'd never heard of these Cult-classic, original Gingher Stork "embroidery" scissors, until I became a new Mom, & rc'd as a gift from my very kind and wealthy Aunt.*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! :)

Elegant; durable; sharp and easy to use! The size and durability is perfect. I no longer struggle to have crisp clean cuts in fabric and ribbons. Only negative...the price is a bit high, but so worth the extra money!
