Just got these for Cathie because she does loads of sewing for the homeless.
They`re a surprise - hope she likes `em.
They are not quite as good as the Whiteley 1920NP-12 side-bent shears but they are out of stock everywhere and I`m sure she would appreciate some new ones.
Rather than get some inexpensive but good twelve inch carbon-bladed ones from China I pushed the boat out a bit.
The specs don`t look too bad to me.
