Probably everyone has scissors in the house for every eventuality – but they cannot always be used for every eventuality. Anyone who likes to tailor, for example, should consider whether it wouldn’t be a good idea to purchase special scissors. Among these tailor scissors there are also the very special ones with serrated blades, such as this part of Kleiber. Let’s see what can be done with them.
How is the equipment?
When cutting with pinking shears, a zigzag line is created at the cut of the fabric. This saves the need to trim the seam later. Furthermore, this zigzag line can also be a decorative detail – e.g. for coasters. According to the manufacturer, these Kleiber zigzag scissors should be suitable for such specialities. Therefore they are made of hardened stainless steel. They are defined as regrindable, which is not so easy with serrated scissors. You cannot simply pull it off, because then the tips of the teeth would disappear. The regrinding should therefore be done by a specialist. The 235 mm long scissors have a weight of 222 grams. We award 4.5 of 5 stars.
What are the usage characteristics?
These serrated shears from Kleiber are already receiving an astonishing 90 percent approval from Amazon customers, which is expressed in four or five stars. This is astonishing because serrated shears present a certain challenge for people who have no experience with them. Firstly, they run somewhat slower than shears with smooth blades. Secondly, beginners often produce crooked cuts at the beginning because the correct approach of the scissors needs to be practised first. These are apparently also the reasons for some critical comments on these scissors. However, all those who took the first hurdles report pleasing results. They find the cutting quality good and point out that there is no snagging and no threads are pulled. In addition, they say that the part is surprisingly easy to handle – a very important indication with pinking shears, which tend to run a little slower due to their special configuration. We award 4.5 of 5 stars.
