Frequently Asked Questions About Gingher Scissors

Can you sharpen Gingher Scissors?

Gingher Knife Edge Scissors can be sharpened with a sharpening stone to maintain their edge. Only Gingher Scissors with a knife edge can be sharpened, so be sure to check the product description before attempting to sharpen your scissors. When in doubt, take your scissors to a professional scissor sharpening service if you're not experienced in sharpening scissors yourself. Gingher embroidery scissors and pinking shears cannot be sharpened.

What are knife edge scissors?

The term “knife edge” refers to the way the scissors are sharpened. On standard scissors, both blades are typically sharpened at the same angle. When scissors or shears have a knife edge, it means the top blade is sharpened at a steeper (more acute) angle than the bottom blade. This creates a very smooth slicing action when fabric cutting and allows the shears to glide through even dense materials and fabric layers.
