Product description
Compact tailor's shears: 20.3 cm with an asymmetric handle
Tailor's shears, 20.3 cm (8 in.) long. The blades are made of stainless steel and suit cutting fabrics and other materials. The handles are black plastic in an asymmetric design: a small hole for the thumb and a large hole for the other fingers, as in classic tailor's shears.
A joint screw holds the blades in place and allows smooth movement. This is the small model in our series, and it suits anyone who wants lighter, shorter fabric scissors for precise work.

Tips for working with tailor's shears
Correct grip: Thumb in the small hole and two or three fingers in the large hole. That way the force is divided correctly
The lower blade on the table: Cut without lifting the fabric
Separate scissors for paper: Keep this pair for fabric only
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Holding the asymmetric handle backwards: The hand tires quickly and control is reduced
Cutting many layers with short scissors: the longer 25.4 cm model is better suited to thick layers
Cutting paper and cardboard: Dulls the blade
Why the handle of tailor's shears is asymmetric
In classic tailor's shears, like this one, the two finger holes are different sizes, and there is a reason for it:
The small hole for the thumb: The thumb pushes the upper blade and controls the cutting direction
The large hole for two or three fingers: The fingers pull the lower blade and add force in thick fabric
The lower blade stays on the table: The handle is raised relative to the blade, so the fabric doesn't lift during cutting
This structure gives more force and control than equal handles, which is why it is common in professional tailor's shears. It is built for the right hand.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the blades made of?
Stainless steel. The handles are black plastic.
Why are the handles asymmetrical?
A small hole for the thumb and a large hole for the other fingers allow a stable grip and less fatigue during long cutting.
Who is the short model suitable for?
For anyone who cuts thin and medium fabrics, works a lot on curves, or prefers scissors that are light in the hand.
What work are 8-inch scissors suitable for?
For light and medium fabrics, cutting curves and details, corners and slits. They are also comfortable for small hands and for anyone who prefers light scissors.
Can I cut pattern paper with them?
Not recommended. Paper dulls the blade faster than fabric, so it is a good idea to keep a separate pair for paper and keep the tailor's shears for fabric only.
How do you keep the blades sharp?
Cut only fabric, wipe after working with interfacing or coated fabrics, add an occasional drop of oil to the screw and store in a dry place.
