Gingher 8" Fabric Shears

The Gingher 8" Shears are made for clean, controlled cutting through fabric, patterns, seams, and long material layouts. For footwear prototyping and leather work, they are a strong cutting tool for pattern paper, linings, canvas, textiles, mockup materials, and light sample-room trimming.

The knife-edge blades help cut through multiple layers, while the bent handle keeps material flatter against the table for smoother cutting. That makes them useful when you are developing shoe upper mockups, trimming lining pieces, cutting canvas prototypes, or preparing clean sample components.
