The KAI 9″ Pinking Shears are strong and light for even the toughest of projects The comfortable and lightweight handle, as well as the stainless steel blades, make this a necessary addition to your collection. Cloth edges that are unfinished will easily fray, the weave becoming undone and threads pulling out easily. The saw-tooth pattern does not prevent the fraying but limits the length of the frayed thread and thus minimizes damage. WEIGHT: 5.3 OUNCES Please Note: Kai does not make left handed Pinking Shears as Kai Japan considers these to be ambidextrous.
