Just one idea. I depend on Gingher scissors. Ordered one pair from Martha
Pullen, Sew Beautiful website. I didn't like them; they just didn't seem to be up to the excellence I expect from Gingher. Martha's group replaced them immediately and with no questions. Can't beat that. Absolutely can not. And when you've just used them to pieces (not to mention DH cutting screen wire to replace the back door with them), Gingher will replace them or restore them to their original wonder. If you're not in a major hurry, you can ask for their catalog and order them by mail. The catalog gives you a 20% discount. The code for In My Humble Opinion does not apply here. My mind is made up. Probably. Polly "vashti" wrote in message news am looking for a good place to mail order scissors and tools to sharpen scissors. any ideas? |

Have you looked in your area for Tool Sharpening businesses. A few years
ago a friend of mine would gather up all her scissors and anything that needed to be sharpened and take them to a sharpening service. I got a new phone book today and looked in there to see if those kind of businesses were still around and sure enough, there are a few. Do you know of anyone that makes knives for living or hobby, they might sharpen your scissors for you. Kate T.

Yes, it is true that Gingher does not have the same quality of scissors that
they use to have in the industry. Gingher gets the scissors from Italy and Mexico. Once they bring these tools in, they do go back and rework the edges. There is a US manufacture of scissors that produces the highest quality of tools in today's market and most individuals are not aware of this because of the lack of marketing that this company does. I do sell these tools and I also service them as well. Our website is http://www.specialtyshears.com I will have a dedicated page titled Quilting, Needlepoint, Sewn Products in the very near future. As far as sharpening in concern, you need to be very careful when selecting this service. Most sharpening business will sharpen anything from knives to lawn mower blades. Sharpening scissors and shears takes a special art. We are trained to provide this service. Our training came directly from the manufacture that we represent and we return each year to hone our skills. If you contact Jill she can bring you up to date on one of our tools that she is testing for us and tell you about our great prices. Derek "Polly Esther" wrote in message link.net... Just one idea.
