Product description
A set of two pairs: FINNY PROFI tailor's shears and FINNY HOBBY embroidery scissors
A set of two Kretzer scissors, made in Solingen, Germany, in one package. The large pair is FINNY PROFI, 24 cm (9.5 in.) long with a cutting length of 11 cm and a blue-black handle: tailor's shears for cutting fabric, which the manufacturer also specifies for leather and cardboard. The small pair is FINNY HOBBY, 13 cm (5 in.) long with a cutting length of 4.5 cm and a red handle: embroidery and thread scissors for corners and finishing work.
In both pairs the blades are made of stainless steel that has undergone ice hardening, which keeps its sharpness over time. A set like this covers most of a seamstress's cutting jobs, one pair for fabric and one pair for threads, and is also suitable as a gift for someone starting to sew.
