Klasse Pinking Shears Scissors Silver All Metal Design 225mm (9"inch) - BK1901

The Klasse BK1901 are 225mm (9 inch) pinking shears in an all-metal silver design — full-size professional pinking shears for sewing, quilting and craft work. The serrated zigzag blades cut fabric in a saw-tooth edge rather than a straight line, which significantly slows the rate at which a cut fabric edge frays. At 225mm these are a full-size tool suited to sustained cutting through fabric lengths, and the all-metal construction — blades and handles both in metal — gives them the weight, rigidity and durability of a professional sewing room scissors.

THE ZIGZAG EDGE: PREVENTING FRAYING

When woven fabric is cut with a straight blade, the threads at the cut edge are left with nothing to stop them unravelling back into the fabric body — fraying begins immediately and worsens with handling. A zigzag cut leaves each fabric thread anchored at multiple points along the saw-tooth peaks and valleys, drastically reducing how far and how fast the edge frays. For garment sewing this means seam allowances stay neat through construction without requiring serging or overlocking at every step. For quilting it means cut fabric pieces can be pinned, arranged and reassembled without the edges deteriorating between cutting and sewing. For craft work it means a clean, durable edge on felt, interfacing and similar materials that would otherwise fray with handling. Pinking shears are not a permanent substitute for a sewn or serged edge in finished garments, but as a working tool during construction they keep cut edges manageable and reduce fabric waste from excessive fraying.

ALL-METAL CONSTRUCTION

The all-metal design distinguishes these pinking shears from the more common plastic-handled versions. Metal handles transmit the force of each cut more directly than a plastic grip and are not subject to the stress cracking that plastic handles can develop over years of sustained use. The silver finish across both blades and handles gives them a uniform, professional appearance. The additional weight that comes with all-metal construction also benefits cutting control — the shears track steadily through fabric with less tendency to drift off the cut line than lighter scissors. For sewers and quilters who use pinking shears regularly, the all-metal format is a long-term investment in a tool that will outlast plastic-handled alternatives.

SEWING, QUILTING AND CRAFT APPLICATIONS

In garment sewing, pinking shears are used to finish seam allowances, particularly on fabrics that fray readily — linen, cotton, silk and loosely woven materials. In quilting, they are used to cut fabric pieces for assembly and to trim bulk from seam allowances. In craft work they produce a decorative zigzag edge on felt, fabric, card and paper — useful for decorative finishing on handmade items, greeting cards, scrapbooking and textile art. At 225mm these shears are also large enough to cut paper and card without straining the blades, though the primary application is fabric.
