My wife did buy a pair of Ginghers in 2006 (soon after the 2005 merger)

Their quality may remain as it has always been but the bottom of the web
page says "visit Fiskars.com", so I presume Fiskars owned them.

That's kind of a shame. My wife was a professional dressmaker/costumer for a
while, and has always used Ginghers.
I sent her the link to the British scissors.

We have a few scissors laying around just like that, one really great long
paper scissor from Italy that we've had since I was a kid ! Still sharp

FWIW, Klein Cutlery has a lot of made in USA scissors, and a great
selection !!!

Aside: I feel almost obliged to apologize for the announcer's accent. It's

I have a few pairs of small surgical scissors and clamps from my ex's
collection (she's a Ped) and they are certainly very nice. But I think that
those in the video are even nicer. 50 years (everyday scissors, I gather)

Thanks! We've been wondering where to find quality scissors as the ones we
have found so far are costly disposables. Plus, my travel whisky cups are
