My arthritis is just bad enough that my knuckles make using my Gingher tailor points for trimming an absolute pain. Had to use my left hand to remove them from my right.
So a few years ago, I treated myself to Kai 9-1/2" dressmakers shears for my Merry Christmas to me. I loved them! Two weeks later, on Christmas, my sis gave me a pair of Gingher shears. Had to pretend I was excited. But then....
It turns out, using each pair of scissors slightly differs the way hand muscles are used, and they place pressure on my joints in different ways.So I switch between the two- and my hands appreciate it!
Even if you find spring action you like, having 2 or three different pairs to switch between can really help.
