Micro-Serrated or Fully Smooth Blade Edge Stainless Steel Tailor Scissors: Which to Select?

If you regularly source stainless steel tailor scissors, you’ve likely noticed two common blade edge designs for stainless steel tailor scissors on the market: micro-serrated blade and fully smooth non-serrated blade. So when purchasing, should we choose stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge or fully smooth blade edge? This cannot be generalized.

Reliable stainless steel scissors factories, with mature heat treatment and HRC hardening processes, deliver consistent sharpness on both micro-serrated blade edge and fully smooth non-serrated blade edge’s stainless steel tailor scissors; they are generally not significantly different in basic cutting capability. However, from a professional and meticulous perspective, there are certain differences in their uses.

when the stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge cut the fabric, micro serrations of the blade first grip fabric yarns the moment the edge makes contact fabric, locking the fabric in place before the full blade cutting through the fabric, which makes the cutting force of the stainless steel tailor scissors more stable, and the fabric is not easy to slide away from the blade edge, especially for cutting some thick yarns’ fabrics or some harder fabrics, this performance will be more obvious. But if the stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge are used to cut some fine soft fabrics, the cuts of fabrics that cut may not be so neat.

When the stainless steel tailor scissors with fully smooth blade edge cut the fabric, the entire blade edge synchronously bites, completely cutting the fabric on the contact surface in one go, with a smooth and residue free incision and uniform cutting force. However, when the stainless steel tailor scissors with fully smooth blade edge cut some thick fabrics with coarse yarn, as the blade edge does not have micro serration gripping the fabric, there may be sliding of the blade edge. In this case, it is necessary to use hand traction to fix the fabric that cut.

So the choice of stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge or fully smooth blade edge depends on the usage scenario of the stainless steel tailor scissors. If you need to frequently cut thick fabrics such as cotton denim, linen canvas, etc., using stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge would be more suitable. While cutting thin fabrics or the fabrics that are easy to tear, such as plain weave and nylon fabric, stainless steel tailor scissors with smooth blade edge are more suitable.

Stainless steel tailor scissors, as the main cutting tool in garment factories, are usually equipped with both of the stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge and with fully smooth blade edge, and are selected to use according to different processes. For example, stainless steel tailor scissors with micro-serrated blade edge are more commonly used in the front processes such as cutting cloth pieces. For some processes such as cutting the bag opening of the pants’ welt back pocket and trimming the edges of the sewn parts, the precise neat edges are required, for these tasks, stainless steel tailor scissors with smooth blade edge are used generally.
