Professional Japanese Dressmaker Scissors – VG10 9"

Made for dressmaking, pattern cutting, and regular fabric work, these 9-inch Japanese dressmaker scissors combine a versatile size with the exceptionally smooth cutting feel of VG10 stainless steel.

The 9-inch size offers a practical balance between reach and control. The 4.2-inch straight blade provides enough cutting length for pattern pieces and longer fabric lines while remaining manageable around garment sections, curves, and smaller areas where control matters.

VG10 is a high-performance Japanese stainless steel valued for its hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting edge performance. Its high hardness also makes it more demanding to grind, finish, and precisely adjust when used in scissors, requiring a high level of skill to bring out the qualities of the steel in the finished tool.

That difference becomes apparent in the cut. In a finely finished pair of dressmaker scissors, VG10 provides a noticeably smooth, refined cutting feel. The blades move through fabric with a clean, crisp cutting sound, giving the cutting experience a distinctive character beyond sharpness alone.

For LeGrand, VG10 is reserved for fabric scissors designed to deliver our most refined cutting experience. The white malleable cast iron handle gives the scissors a substantial, stable feel in the hand, while the versatile 9-inch size keeps the pair manageable across a wide range of pattern and garment work.

For dressmakers and makers who cut fabric regularly, the 9-inch VG10 model offers a balance of control, practical reach, long-lasting edge performance, and an exceptionally refined cutting experience.

Made in Japan.
