Cut Once. The Edge Is Already Finished.
You cut the fabric. Then you hem it. Then you zigzag the raw edge so it stops unraveling in the wash. That last part is the part you hate — and it's why three projects are still sitting in the drawer.
Zagsnip skips it. One pass with the zigzag blades and the edge is done — denim, jersey, stretch, felt.
No hemming. No fraying after laundry day. Just a clean, finished edge the first time.
Cuts through denim on the first pass — 115mm blades, hardened 3cr13 steel
✓ Skip the hemming step entirely
One cut leaves a sealed zigzag edge. No hemming, no zigzag stitching, no going back over it later.
✓ No more unraveled edges after washing
The angled teeth cut across the weave instead of along it. Threads have nothing to pull loose in the machine.
✓ Bites through denim, not just thin cotton
235mm of leverage and hardened 3cr13 steel blades. Denim, jersey, felt, ribbed knit, stretch — one pass each.
✓ Finishes like you sent it out
Crisp, even teeth down the whole edge. The kind of finish that makes people ask where you bought it.
✓ Won't go dull after three projects
3cr13 is hardened tool steel, not the soft stamped metal in bargain-bin craft scissors. It holds its bite.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sharpen these if they lose their edge?
Yes, but not on a standard knife sharpener. Pinking shears need a professional sharpener who handles serrated blades. Most people go years before this comes up.
Will these work on paper and cardstock?
They will, but paper dulls any fabric blade faster than cloth does. If you scrapbook, keep a separate pair for paper and save these for fabric.
Do these work for left-handed users?
The handles are symmetrical, so they're comfortable either way. Left-handed users may find the cut line slightly harder to see, which is true of most shears.
How do I keep them cutting cleanly?
Wipe the blades with a dry cloth after heavy use and add one drop of oil at the pivot screw every few months. That's it.
How to use
- Step 1: Lay your fabric flat on a hard surface. Bunched fabric gives you an uneven zigzag.
- Step 2: Open the blades wide and cut with long, full strokes. Short snips leave gaps in the pattern.
- Step 3: Don't lift the shears between cuts. Slide them forward and line up the teeth with the last cut so the zigzag stays even.
- Step 4: For thick fabric like denim, cut single-layer instead of folded. One pass is all it takes.

How to wash
- Wipe blades clean with a dry cloth after use.

- Add a drop of oil at the pivot screw every few months to keep the action smooth.
Does the denim paneling feel stiff to wear?
No. The panels are placed at the neckline, lapels and sleeves to hold structure, not across the body. The parts that touch you most are soft ribbed knit.
Can I wear this as my actual jacket in fall?
Yes, in mild to cool weather. It's a substantial knit layer, so think crisp fall days over a tank or tee rather than deep winter.
Will the knit stretch out at the elbows and hem?
The ribbed construction is built to spring back, and the denim panels take the stress at the sleeves and edges. Hang it rather than folding it to help it keep its shape.
Does it close in the front?
It's designed as an open-front layer. That's what lets the denim lapels frame the outfit underneath.
