KAI Scissors 7230 9in Shears, Stainless Steel

Economical & great value. Lightweight, sharp, easy to manipulate, easy to sharpen with a pro sharpening rig. Sharpening by hand filing is not difficult but is quite dangerous, requiring a bit of strength and a steady hand.

Hey everyone, I purchased the KAI 7230 9” Scissors. Like my title states, I have used GINGHER, Among other dress making Scissors.. and these by FAR ARE TRULY THE BEST SCISSORS IV’E EVER USED. I say this because they Cut all the way to the Tippy Top when these baby’s are completely closed ! 🌷💗.No dragging your expensive fabric… These work Well on Knits, Cottons and EVEN Silks !!! It’s very hard to impress me.. but these did. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KAI SCISSORS 💗

My daughter couldn't believe I spent this much money for a scissors. So I had her try three different ones--a generic Amazon made-in-China pair, Fiskars, and then these 9" Kai scissors. To the Amazon, she said, "Good." To the Fiskars, she said, "Good." To the Kai, she burst out laughing. Couldn't stop laughing. When she was finally able to talk, she said, "It's like BUTTER!" After more of this raving, she said, "I'm gonna have to get me some of those."Had my hubby do the same thing. When he got to the Kais, what he exclaimed was my title up above. He finished it off with something like, "That's AMAZING." Which is great, because otherwise he'd be wondering why I spent $50 on a scissors.Kai is so far ahead of Fiskars and the Amazon ones from China, it's not even just a different playing field. It's a completely different sport. If you don't want to buy Kai scissors, you'd better not ever try them. Once you do, you'll HAVE to buy them. Everything else will feel like kiddie stuff. The fact that they are made in Japan says it all.Regarding the size, I finally ran across some helpful information, and hopefully I'm remembering correctly. The 8" has a shorter blade than the 9". The 9" and 10" have the same length blade, but the 10" has a bigger handle. With that info, I went with the 9", and it's perfect. I was afraid the blade would be too long, as I'm not a fan of really big scissors, but it's not, and the Kais are fairly lightweight compared to my junk scissors, which is very helpful.I love them. Everyone who sews should have these. I sew garments BTW. Not a quilter. These things just melt the fabric between the blades. No more fighting fabric as I try to plow thru (didn't even realize that was happening until I used these). Makes cutting out my patterns much more accurate and neat. Can't imagine a better scissors even exists.

I purchased these to use while my "antique" Japanese shears are being sharpened. I am very pleased with these scissors. They are are nicely weighted and balanced. They are also comfortable in the hand while cutting. Although not heavy, they are NOT flimsy and feel very durable. Cutting is smooth and effortless..."it cuts like butter." This is through denim, and glides through four layers of cotton/poly fabric. The true test is to see how long they stay sharp. Overall, I'd recommend these shears for sewing and craft projects.

Sturdy, heavy duty scissors, work great and accurately. Easy to use and great price!

I am a quilter so I depend on high quality scissors and these meet every expectation. They are sharp, cut to the point and fit my hand comfortably. I also have the 8 inch size as well. I highly recommend both for ease and accuracy in cutting fabrics. Exce option!

1 year later the scissors are still sharp as when new.

I absolutely love these, they just glide through thick and thin fabric. They are really comfortable on the hand and since it cuts with such ease, I haven’t notice any hand strain like I do with my other scissors. If you do a lot of sewing it is definitely worth the extra cost. I have other good quality name brand scissors and this one is hands down the best.
