Product description
German tailor's shears, 25 cm long: 12 cm of cutting with every closing
Tailor's shears from the FINNY PROFI series by Kretzer, made in Solingen, Germany. The total length is 25 cm (10 inches), and the cutting length - the part of the blade that actually cuts - is 12 cm. The blades are made of stainless steel that has undergone ice hardening, a process that helps the blade keep its sharpness over time in professional work, and the edge is thin and precise.
The handle is two-component: a rigid body with a soft non-slip addition in blue-black, which allows a stable, comfortable grip even in long cutting. The weight of the scissors is about 120 g - enough to feel stable on the table, and still not tiring for the hand. This is Kretzer's large model in our range, for professional fabric cutting on the cutting table.

Tips for professional cutting
Use the full 12 cm of cutting: Close to about two-thirds and continue, so no steps are left in the line
The lower blade on the table: Glide forward without lifting the fabric
Keep for fabric only: Paper dulls even hardened stainless steel
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Cutting small details with large scissors: For corners and notches, a small pair is more comfortable
Dropping on the floor: Damages how the blades fit together
Cutting metal wires: Leaves damage on the blade
Total length and cutting length: how to read scissors specifications
The specifications of fabric scissors sometimes list two numbers, and it's worth understanding the difference:
Total length: From the end of the handle to the tip of the blade. In these scissors, 25 cm (10 inches)
Cutting length: The part of the blade that actually cuts, from the screw to the tip. Here, 12 cm
Why it matters: The cutting length determines how much fabric is cut with each closing. Two pairs of the same total length can be very different in use, depending on the blade length
When comparing tailor's shears, it's worth checking both figures. Kretzer publishes both, which makes it easy to choose the pair that suits the type of cutting.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the Kretzer FINNY PROFI?
The total length is 25 cm (10 inches), and the cutting length is 12 cm.
What is cutting length?
The part of the blade that actually cuts, from the screw to the tip. The longer it is, the longer a stretch each closing cuts.
How much do the scissors weigh?
About 120 g.
Where are the scissors made?
In Solingen, Germany, under the Kretzer brand.
What are the blades made of?
Ice-hardened stainless steel - a cooling step after hardening that helps the blade keep its sharpness over time.
What is special about the handle?
The handle is two-component: a rigid body with a soft non-slip addition, which gives a stable, comfortable grip during long cutting.
What is the difference between FINNY PROFI and FINNY HOBBY?
PROFI is longer (25 cm, cutting length 12 cm) with a two-component handle, for professional table work. HOBBY is 20 cm long with a plastic handle, for home sewing and crafts.
Can I cut denim and thick fabrics with them?
Yes. The long, hardened blade suits denim, canvas, wool and layers of folded fabric.
Can pattern paper be cut with them?
Not recommended. Paper dulls the blade faster than fabric, so it's worth keeping a separate pair for paper.
How do you keep the scissors sharp?
Cut only fabric, wipe after working with interfacing or coated fabrics, add an occasional drop of oil to the screw and keep them closed in a dry place.
