Tailor Scissors or Dressmaking Shears
The best sewing scissors are not always the most expensive brand names!
We've tested them all and found those with Japanese steel containing manganese are superior and stay sharper longer. Dressmaking Shears or Tailor Scissors must be easy to use, ergonomically comfortable and sharpen easily.
Best Sewing Scissors
We tested many scissors, including some of the best known pricey brands. We found a supplier of high quality tailor scissors that are less expensive, and in our opinion as good if not better than the expensive brands. Our Tailor Scissors are black handled with manganese steel blades. They are very sharp and maintain their blade for a long time. We have been testing them in our store for over a year and are very pleased!
One of our staff members who is a professional tailor purchased her best scissors for several hundred dollars, and she prefers these ones to her own!
We offer Tailor Scissors in 3 sizes:

Handy Snips
Handy Snips are your best friend for clipping threads or when you need precision small cuts. Many of these types of snips look alike, but not all snips are made with quality materials, so it can be hard to compare. You'll find cheaper ones as well as more expensive ones, but ours are the best we have ever tried.
We love that they cut RIGHT to the end of the blade.
Our Handy Snips blades are made with SK5 Steel, which is a Japanese steel for knives and tools. It holds its sharp edge for a long time. It contains Manganese, which increases the hardness.
