Versatile 8 inch Dressmaker’s Shears have longer length, knife edge blades, strong enough to trim and cut multiple layers of fabric effortlessly, cut out patterns and trim seams. Bent handles allow for smooth, comfortable cutting across any flat surface. The blades have a durable, double-plated chrome finish over nickel. Each pair of shears arrives in a gold foil gift box and includes a molded nylon sheath for storage. Use a G-S sharpening stone for blade maintenance.
