## Description

These Fiskars scissors also include a protective nylon sheath for storage among your other quilting supplies when not in use.

Review: Heirloom Cult-Classic! - 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! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where are they made?**
A: Made in Italy. I am a made-in-USA kind of guy; in this case i made an exception, and could not be happier.Worth every penny.Great product!

**Q: How do I get them sharpened.  Can I get my small scissors sharpened Also**
A: I have always gone to a Kitchen or Food supply warehouse.  It cost 5 to 10 dollars.  You must do some serious Fabric cutting.  I have had this brand (in 7") for nearly 40yrs and never had to get them sharpened.  I know if you use it to cut paper, it really messes up the blades.  But yeah, either a Kitchen or Fabric store can offer Knife/Blade Sharpening.  Hope this helps.  Happy cutting!!

**Q: Is this product made in the USA?**
A: No...like most (if not all) Gingher scissors, these are made in Italy...they are, however, first rate quality...sharp is the devil, and very precisely ground and meshed...

**Q: what is this scissors made of?  Is it chrome plated by any chance?**
A: As far as I know, none of the Gingher scissors are chrome plated. If they are, they look just like my Singer scissors, and appear to be well made and stainless steel. Have never seen them labeled as chrome plated.  The only "con" I can see is that the blades are joined with a fastner which protrudes somewhat--like a bolt.  But, with this feature, the blades will be easier to resharpen in the future. The fastner does not hinder the cutting action, and the blades are extremely sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gingher scissors - always great!
*by C***E on December 11, 2025*

As always, very sharp, small and light weight. Great for making tiny clips, as needed. Gingher scissors are comfortable and easy to use. They are pricey, but they do last for a long time.
