History of Gingher Scissors For over 54 years, Gingher has been recognized as the premier line of cutting implements for home sewing, crafts, needlework and industry. Gingher believes that their success is due to their heritage of quality craftsmanship. Using a method that is centuries old, Gingher's skilled technicians hot-drop forge our scissors and shears from high carbon cutlery steel. Many grinding and polishing operations are still performed by hand to ensure a flawless appearance and sharp cutting all the way to the points. The setting of the blades, points, and tension is also done by hand for high performance and longevity. Each pair is then carefully inspected in order to maintain Gingher's exacting standards. It is Gingher's unerring dedication to quality that has made Gingher scissors and shears more widely used in the American textile and fiber industries than any other brand. For over 54 years, Gingher has been recognized for their premier line of cutting implements for home sewing, crafts, needlework and industry. We believe that this success is due to our heritage of quality craftsmanship. Using a method that is centuries-old, skilled technicians hot-drop forge our scissors and shears from high carbon cutlery steel. Key grinding and polishing operations are still performed by hand to ensure a flawless appearance and sharp cutting all the way to the point of the scissor. The blades, points and tension of each scissor are then “tuned” by hand to ensure the same high performance and longevity in every pair. By the time our scissors leave our factory in Greensboro, North Carolina, they have been touched more than fifty times by our own craftspeople. It is for this reason we can truly say, "from our hands to yours." And now Gingher is continuing the tradition with their new rotary cutter, quilting rulers and cutting mats. We make sure that each and every product is manufactured to the same exacting standards, carefully inspecting each piece in order to maintain the highest level of quality. Attention to detail and quality ensures that the Gingher sewing and quilting tool you purchase today will work the same as new after years of creative use.
