KAI Scissors 7250 10in Shears, Pictured

I make throw pillows for a living, so I do a lot of fabric cutting and trimming. After a year and a half in business full time, I finally realized I needed to toss my sub-par scissors and invest in a good pair. I purchased these Kai scissors, as well as a pair of Ginghers. I dont know what people see in the Ginghers. Mine are so uncomfortable to use. My Kais cut through fabric like a dream and they are comfortable to use as well. Highly recommended! Im going to purchase a second pair because my mom and my husband both help me cut fabric sometimes and we are always fighting over the Kais!

I bought a pair of these for myself and instantly fell in love. Theyre sharper than any pair of Ginghers Ive ever had, and they just fit nicely in my hand. I bought my sis-in-law a pair, and she thought I was being funny giving her a pair of junk scissors for Christmas, that was until she practically sliced her finger off messing with them like they were FIskars or some cheapo brand like that. She called me up as she was trying to stop the bleeding and told me they were the sharpest things shed ever touched! Last year when she passed away, my brother gave me some of her sewing stuff, and those scissors had been passed over as trash because someone had used them to cut wire or something and damaged the blades. I sent them back to KAI and requested a repair, and they re-sharpened them for me and did it for free in memory of my SIL. Excellent company and wonderful customer service!

absolutely the best scissors in the universe

Bought these scissors because I am going to reupholster our boat seats, and thought I could use a good pair of shears to cut my vinyl up. I did a Google search on the best shears, and Kai came up first. I know Japanese knives are the best, and it rings true for these also. These shears are fantastic! They are so smooth, and sharp, and cut thru the vinyl like it is soft butter. Do not hesitate to purchase these, you will not regret it. Very pleased with Kai brand. Since I received these, I have also purchased some Kai thread snips and they are also wonderful.

Very light weight Hold a edge very well unless you hit staples

I absolutely love the 9-inch Kai 7230,they deserve more than 5 stars. I wanted to have a little longer blades and decided to buy the 10-inch Kai 7250. To my dismay, I found that their blades are only a couple of millimeters longer, but the handles are a whole inch bigger. Oh boy, I couldnt even operate them at all. Both of these shears are of a great quality. The craftsmanship is excellent. Smooth and sharp blades. Light weight too, which makes it easy to cut any fabric. The designers of the modern shears are having a strange idea that good ergonomics mean huge handles, the bigger the better. It would be more logical if the shears were sold by the size of the blades, in this case about 4 inch, and S, M, or L according to the size of the handles. If you have big hands go for it, if your hands are s/m the 9-inch shears will be perfect for you.

The Kai 10 scissors are quite remarkable. I wanted these so I can cut through multiple layers of fabric plus batting - and they do! They are very comfortable and cut cleanly all the way to the tip with ease. They do not bind.

Its vey light and i recommend it if you use it for work like i do , it will cut pike butter on a 100%cotton

I was going for a handmade pair of shears from England but they are unavailable thanks to Covid. I got these instead for about half the price and so far so good. They are the tiniest bit long for me, but they are excellent in terms of balance and ease of use, I have sore arthritic hands and I am happy with these. They are micro serrated, so I hope I can get them sharpened when the time comes, I am not a fan of throwing out perfectly useful things. Time will tell.

Enough said. If you are debating about getting one, let me tell you: I wish I hadnt waited so long.
