Product description
Gold-finish tailor's shears: PRYM Gold Edition, 20 cm long
Tailor's shears from the PRYM Gold edition, 20 cm (8 in.) in total length. According to the manufacturer, the scissors are made of steel, heat-forged and hand-sharpened, and the metal handles are plated in a gold tone. The blade has micro-serration: tiny teeth along the edge that grip the fabric and stop it from slipping between the blades.
The all-metal construction gives a steady weight and the feel of a classic work tool, and the micro-serration is especially useful on slippery fabrics such as silk, satin and lining. This is a pair that suits both the work table and a gift for someone who sews.

Tips for working with micro-serration
No need to press hard: The serration grips the fabric by itself, and gentle pressure is enough
Wipe after use: Protects the plating on the handles and the steel
Sharpen only with a professional: A serrated blade requires suitable sharpening
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Cutting paper and cardboard: Damages the serration and the sharpness
Leaving the scissors damp: Steel needs to be wiped and dried
Cleaning the handles with abrasive materials: May damage the gold plating
Micro-serration: when it helps and how to protect it
Micro-serration is a row of tiny teeth along the blade. They are almost invisible to the eye, but they grip the fabric fibers at the moment of closing, so the fabric doesn't escape forward between the blades.
Where you notice it: Silk, satin, chiffon, lining, Lycra and other slippery fabrics
Where less so: On stable cotton and linen, even a smooth blade cuts well
Sharpening: Only with a sharpener who knows micro-serrated blades, because regular sharpening may wipe out the teeth
To keep the teeth lasting, cut only fabric with these scissors and wipe the blade after working with fabrics that leave lint.
