KAI Kai 7280 Professional Dressmaking Scissors 280 mm

LOVE these scissors! Kai is the best scissors around and I have tried many! Larger than I thought they would be, but cut through fabric like butter. Highly recommend!

These are amazing shears. Started doing upholstery couldn't be happier with these scissors. Plan on buying another pair in the near future.

These Kai 7280 shears are extremely sharp and glide through heavy fabrics like canvas, denim, and upholstery with ease. The stainless steel blades hold their edge well and deliver clean cuts from tip to pivot. At 11 inches, they give you great cutting power but can feel large or heavy for smaller hands. A bit pricey, but worth it for serious sewing or upholstery work.

Got this for my tailor and they love it! Very lightweight but smooth and precise. Feels good in your hands and doesn’t feel like your hand will be sore after cutting for a while. The grip has a nice feel to it and it cuts real smoothly. Would consider getting this again.

I have at least 5 sets of Kai shears in my upholstery shop. Of all the brands I've tried, these seem to be the best.

Scissors were sharp, cut evenly and fit my big hands.

I am admitting up front that I don't sew, but wanted a big pair of scissors to have around. I saw them in a photo of the artisan in Australia who makes the neck ties that I wear . These are magnificently constructed and scary sharp and well fitted. Can't tell you how they work on fabric or how they would be to use all day, but maybe I'll take up sewing to find out.

These scissors cut very well. Even better than my Gingher dressmaking scissors that I have had and loved since 1982. I changed scissors based on the reviews because as I have gotten older the weight of the scissors has been more tiring and difficult to use and the reviews commented that these were much lighter. They are lighter than my Ginghers, however I found the length of these scissors to be more than I can comfortably handle. I am only 5'1" and have a very small frame, including my hands. There was nothing wrong with the scissors, they were just not a fit for me.
