I also vastly prefer my Kai scissors to my Gingers. I sew so I have gotten three Ginger sizes over the years. Even with careful care and only being used by me for sewing, they are starting to deteriorate. The nut that hold the two scissor blades together isn't holding as well so they don't quite meet properly on my biggest pair. My biggest pair also really hurts my hands after a little while. I have a small pair of curved ones and they also have the same problem. My medium size is still going alright. My husband is great with sharpening so they are still really sharp but it is hard to cut fabric neatly because of the nut problem.

My husband got me a set of Kai's for Christmas two years ago and they are vastly better. They feel so incredibly smooth and cut through anything. Even the largest pair doesn't hurt my hands even after lots of cutting. These are my favorite ever sewing scissors. They still are like brand new after two years.

I still have the Gingers but I don't use them at all now. I guess it is time to declutter. :)

That being said, I also have a pair of Klein's that I purchased for general use around the house. My kids are big into all sorts of crafts and they also love them. I love them so much as well for general use and paper cutting. I got the blue handled one in a smaller size. Lowes has them one their website.

They feel different. They are comfortable and the blades stay sharp a long time. I knicked one when I stupidly cut a metal zipper and took it to the knife sharpener and they are great now.
