Wiss pinking shears are iconic, heavy-duty sewing scissors featuring sawtooth blades that cut a zigzag pattern into fabric. This distinct edge interrupts the grain of woven cloth, minimizing fraying and protecting unfinished seams. Vintage models made in the USA by J. Wiss & Sons are heavily sought after by collectors and sewists today, while modern Crescent Wiss equivalents remain available through specialized suppliers.
