## Description

Kai 5210 8-inch Stainless Steel Shears

Review: Kai scissors are my new favorite! - I love my Kai scissors, why? They fit my hands (large for a woman) very well, their action is smooth, balance is great, and best of all, the cutting edges sharp--and stay sharp! None of this "I was used to cut something else so I can't cut this" behavior I have observed in many other scissors. I bought the embroidery scissors as well, and their tiny tips can reach in and snip threads clean. They are absolutely my best embroidery scissors. I threw out all the others as it was so difficult to cut ends of threads clean (easier needle threading as well as cutting). I bought an extra pair of the dressmaking shears and gave them to a friend who loves them as well! Great product, I hope you love this brand too. And I was not paid nor reimbursed nor offered or given any kind of incentive for my review. I just want to share my experiences to help others.
Review: Great for the price but Zwilling are better - For the price, these are great scissors. They cut cotton well and they pretty comfortable to use. I like the blade cover and it snaps in place well. The rubber handles are a bit bulky though. The scissors do glide when cutting. I own a set of Zwilling Superfection Classic Dressmaking Scissors 230. These are $45 now on desertcart but I got them for $22 awhile back. They are not bulky and have a great handle design that's like a textured plastic. They don't provide a blade cover so I use a leather sheath. Similar to the Kai in the sense that both have a softer feel than traditional solid metal which over extended use are painful to use. The zwilling set is better at cutting at all aspects over the Kai. They are smoother and cuts through thick cloth easier. The Kai set is a better deal but if I wanted the best, go for the zwilling.
