Serrated

Famore’s Serrated collection features 8 specialized scissors and snips with micro-serrated blade edges — designed to grip and hold fabric as they cut, preventing slipping on slick, stretchy, or delicate materials. Ideal for silk, satin, chiffon, knits, and any fabric that tends to shift under a smooth blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a micro-serrated blade and when should I use one?

Micro-serrated blades have tiny, evenly-spaced teeth along the cutting edge that grip the fabric rather than sliding across it. They’re especially effective on slippery fabrics like satin, charmeuse, and polyester, and are popular for cutting knits and stretch fabrics without distortion.

Do serrated scissors leave a different edge than smooth blades?

Serrated scissors produce a slightly gripped cut that can leave very fine tooth marks on some fabrics — generally invisible in finished work. For most sewing and crafting applications the edge is clean and precise. Smooth blades are preferred when a perfectly gliding cut on wovens is the priority.

Can serrated scissors be sharpened?

Micro-serrated blades are difficult to re-sharpen at home and are typically replaced rather than honed. Because the serrations grip rather than rely purely on edge sharpness, they tend to stay effective longer than equivalent smooth blades on challenging materials.
