I have Kai shears for dress making and general cutting of fabric. They are a lot better than the Ginghers I bought many years ago which seem to regularly be needing sharpening, and for quite a while I misplaced the sharpening stone I had for them. The Kai's are micro serrated and never need sharpening, as a matter of fact I heard from someone in the know who was told by the manufacturer of Kai scissors that you don't even have to worry about cutting paper with them, they stay sharp. Then in the past year I was looking for very sharp pointed small scissors for all my needlework and found some Omnigrid ones that looked good, so I ordered them and when I got them found that they were also made by Kai, and also have the micro serrated edges. Love those, and now have several so that I can have a pair beside every chair where I do any kind of needle work. And another advantage of the Kai scissors is that they are not that expensive.
