Where To Buy Kai Scissors


A lot of this just comes down to your own preference when cutting. A shorter blade gives you more control on smaller, more intricate shapes, whereas a longer blade allows you to cut further more smoothly.

The 9" pair hit the mark on what I was most in need of at the time. As an appliquér who is often cutting through multiple layers at once (hello, Rin, Catenary, Everglade and many others!), my other scissors just weren't cutting it (ha! but seriously...). I was having trouble getting precise, clean cuts to the tip, and I was also really frustrated by the fact that so many scissors are made to basically be disposable since they can't be sharpened. Enter Kai, my scissor dream--sharp, beautiful and able to be sharpened in the future.


The Kai 7000 professional series is my personal favorite, and I've tried many scissors! This particular one (7100: 4 1/4" scissor) makes the most luxurious snips on any type of fabric--thick or thin. I use this pair for cutting threads or making seam allowance snips when appliquéing, snipping seam allowances in garment sewing or basically anytime I want to up my snipping game.


Additionally, as being the smallest of the 7000 series scissors, the 7100 is better suited for detailed tasks such as thread snipping, embroidery projects, Hardanger embroidery, beadwork, rug-hooking, appliqué projects, and fly tying to name a few.


The 7000 series scissors, including the 7100, are made of a high carbon, hardened stainless steel. The addition of carbon allows for a steeper cutting angle, giving the scissor a sharper, finer edge. The carbon also allows the finer edge to be more durable, which in turn, extends the cutting life of these professional scissors.


Want to know what our splicers use every day when they are cutting and splicing rope? Well you just found it. These Scissors are scary sharp and NOTHING will cut through armid fibers like these will. If you need to cut rope made from Techora, Vectran, Dynema, or other similar fibers you know how hard it can be. Regular scissors won't make a dent in those ropes, but these scissors slice through them easily.


Hand-polished and with soft ergonomic grip handles, Kai Scissors are made in Japan of fine stainless steel with vanadium. These scissors are specially balanced to allow for fatigue-free cutting on all types of fabrics. Hardened stainless steel blades offer superior cutting action.


These scissors are my second favorite tool when I Trace, Baste, Snip & Stitch. They allow me to clip my points and curves without worry, because they don't catch on the fabric. The slightly blunted tip means my scissor blade just glides between the top and background fabric layers.


If properly cared for, Kai scissors can last for decades. The high carbon steel they are crafted from is one of the most durable and high-performance options available. With basic care and occasional sharpening, you may need only to purchase one pair of Kai scissors in your life.


Kai scissors are all hand-balanced before they are sent to distributors or customers. They will come out of the package perfectly ready to use and maintain this condition for a comparatively long time.


Hamlet once said to be or not to be. For the sewer the question is to cut or not cut and which scissors should I use. The scissor plays a large role in sewing as its blades make sure you get a precision cut...or not. No matter which brand of scissors you use, you need to keep the blades sharp.


One brand may be better than another but if they hurt your hand, are too large or hard to maneuver then they are not the best scissors for you. You get the brand you like and that fits your hand best.


To learn which brand most sewers prefer just continue to read our article. It seeks out the information and lets you make your own decision on which brand of scissors is best. That is the way it should be.


The real answer is no you do not. If your regular scissors are sharp then you should be able to cut through some fabrics with ease. But not all fabrics are the same and your regular scissors just may not be up to the task of cutting them.


This may not be news to some sewing enthusiasts but Gingher was bought out several years ago. Before that buyout, their scissors were said to be made in Brazil, Italy, and Germany but after the buyout, their scissors are made in Italy and Taiwan.


All the other scissors are made in Taiwan. There should be a stamp of the country of origin on each pair of scissors so you can see where they come from. The company still maintains a US office and an 800 number. Their website is located at this link.


Yes, they can be. In fact, the American head office makes a sharpening service available to all of its customers. They do limit that service to Gingher brand scissors only though. The company also repairs your scissors for you.


There is a charge listed on their website, linked above, and it will cost you $12 per pair of scissors. While the company restores the scissors sent to them to like-new condition they do not alter their appearance.


If you cannot wait for the 3 to 4 weeks to get your scissors back, you may want to take them to a local handyman or knife sharpening shop and get them done for you. The fee and waiting period may be a lot shorter than sending them to the company.


It seems that Kai scissors are so good that an American company had Kai make special pairs to be used in outer space. They are truly an international brand. Kai also makes Kershaw and Shun brands of scissors, etc.


Also, you can try the national fabric and hobby stores. They should carry most, if not all, brands of scissors including Kai. Your local department stores may also be a good place to look as would be your locally owned fabric and sewing outlets.


The company is the oldest one still operating in Finland today. Exactly where your pair of Fiskars scissors is made could be up to several factors and where the manufacturing arm for scissors falls in the conglomerate structure of the company.


Suffice it to say all the orders for manufacturing come from their head office in Helsinki. The company claims to have made over 1,000,000,000 scissors since they started making them. That number keeps growing every year.


The steel keeps its edges very sharp for a long time as well. Sometimes the company coats the scissors with titanium. This hard coating makes the scissors more durable and retains their edge a lot longer.


That combination of stainless steel and titanium is one of the characteristics that keep Fiskar scissors in the running for being one of the best scissors to use to cut your fabric. They should be very long-lasting and make sewing a little easier.


Originally the scissors were made in Finland but in 1977 the company established a factory in America. So it is most likely that your pair of orange scissors came from the US and are made by Americans.


The orange handle came about by accident as the scissors were originally made in 3 colors, black, green and red. The orange color won the vote and became the official trademark in Finland in 2003 and America in 2007.


You should be able to sharpen their scissors but you will need the right tools to get the job done. A flat file will sharpen just about anything that has a blade and scissors are not excluded from that talent.


All you have to do is place one blade of the scissors in your vise. Just make sure you can see the adjustment screw and can manipulate it easily. Then take a screwdriver and tighten the screw until the blade is seated correctly.


You are going to find that the same outlets that sell Kai and Gingher scissors will also sell Fiskars brand name scissors. Amazon has a good selection as they do for the other brands. Their prices will vary depending on style and size.


Some of their products do but that lifetime guarantee is restricted to the original consumer who initially purchased their pair of scissors for their use. It also doe snot cover sharpening, normal wear and tear, environmental factors, commercial use, and a few other stipulations.


Not all Fiskars products, including scissors, have replacement parts available. You need to check with the company to see which ones do or do not. Their customer service page at their website provides you with the instructions you need to implement the warranty coverage.


The Fiskar scissors, for the most part, have both carbon stainless steel and titanium coating on their side. That construction style makes the blades seem to last longer than the Kai. Plus, they stay sharper longer.


When you find that one, then that will be the best fabric scissors for you. Since Fiskars bought out Ginghers we are leaning towards Kai as ultimately being the best scissors you can buy but then we may be wrong. We just like them better. 041b061a72
