DOVO'S 3 1/2″ EMBROIDERY scissors are a must have for any serious stitcher. Beautifully sculptured handles add to the quality that is unsurpassed. You get a smooth cut, very precise, and extremely sharp points. They have a good balance and truly a pleasure to use. The flare design handle on this pair is the same as the 4″ DOVO. If you want a matching set, but different size, you can get it in this style.
