These Dressmaker Shears feature an innovative spring-action design that gently opens the blades after each cut, reducing hand fatigue to make cutting virtually effortless. These shears also feature long, precision-ground, knife-edge blades that cut multiple layers of fabric easily, all the way to the tip. They offer a longer cut ideal for cutting patterns, trimming seams or cutting long swaths of fabric. A double-plated chrome-over-nickel blade finish is both striking and durable, and the bent-handle design helps hold fabric flat on a tabletop or counter for smooth, comfortable, mistake-free cutting.
