I was a Gingher girl through and through...that is until I tried Kai. Kai is a hard to find brand, but they are available online. I bought my at the Houston quilt show. They have the best edge and are so lightweight. I still have a my Ginghers, but I find myself never reaching for them. Kai all the way
They are fabulous and you can go to http://www.kaiscissors.com and find all the ones you might want.

My husband bought me a pair of Gingher's a long time ago for Christmas. I was so surprised but then so was he, he had purchased left handed scissors! No problem, we returned them for right handed. I have never had to have them sharpened but they only cut material.

I have a pair of Fiskars from JoAnns. Used my 40% off coupon.
I use them to trim the stabilizer from my machine embroidery.
They stay very sharp. The blade is about 3 inches. I am a lefty and the pair I bought has straight handles so they can be used for leftt or right handed people.
My husband wanted a pair of scissors for work, he is a mechanic, he needed something to cut out gaskets and stuff, he bought a pair of the Fiskars, using another 40% off coupon. He bought a pair with longer blades and he has said they are still very sharp after using and abusing them for several years.
I think his has the long straight handles as well, the ones with the holes in the handles will hurt your thumbs if cutting a heavy product.
