Choosing the right Scissors is crucial:

Japanese scissors (Nigiri): traditional precision

Japanese scissors (Nigiri) embody the original scissor shape, hand-forged from high-quality carbon steel. Thanks to their light weight and ergonomic shape, they are comfortable to hold. The controlled cut is made possible by the pressure of the thumb and index finger, while the scissors open themselves thanks to the spring action of the handle. Ideal for precise work with paper, fabric, as thread scissors, embroidery scissors or for trimming houseplants.

Tailor's scissors

Tailor's scissors are indispensable tools for professional tailors, hobby sewers and textile craftsmen. These specialised Scissors are designed to make precise and clean cuts through a wide variety of fabrics. Thanks to their sharp blades and ergonomic handles, Tailor's scissors offer high cutting accuracy without damaging the fabric.


Important features of Tailor's scissors

  • Sharp blades: Tailor's scissors are often made of Rustproof steel. However, it is important that this steel has a high carbon content in order to form carbides after Hardness. Standard stainless steel, often used in inexpensive models, has a low Hardness and therefore dulls quickly. If you are not afraid of a little maintenance, you can get scissors for the most precise cuts with non-rustproof steels that have excellent sharpness.
  • Ergonomic design: An ergonomic handle reduces the strain on hands and joints during Lengthy use immensely.
  • Different sizes: Tailor's scissors come in different sizes, typically between 15 and 25 cm. Smaller models are suitable for delicate work, while larger Scissors are ideal for cutting large pieces of fabric.
  • Versatility: Tailor's scissors are suitable for a wide range of materials, from silk and cotton to denim and Leather. However, there are also special scissors for certain materials such as Leather.

Why are special Tailor's scissors important?

Choosing the right Tailor's scissors has a direct influence on the quality of the work. If blunt or inferior Scissors are used, the fabric will fray or warp more easily, resulting in unclean cuts. High-quality Tailor's scissors are an essential tool that makes cutting work easier and leads to clean, precise results. Choose high-quality Tailor's scissors to cut fabrics effortlessly and take your sewing projects to the next level!

  • Adjust the gear of the Hairdressing scissors as lightly as possible. The Hairdressing scissors should close easily, but the blade should not close by itself.
