Product information

overview

TheKAI N5165is a high-quality pair of sewing scissors with a blade length of 165 mm (approximately 6.5 inches), made of Japanese stainless steel. It belongs to the KAI 5000 series and is now produced in the new KAI scissors factory in Vietnam using Japanese steel.

These scissors are versatile: They're ideal for precisely cutting a wide variety of fabrics—from light, delicate fabrics like silk to blended fabrics and thicker layers. They're also ideal for cutting iron-on interfacing, appliqués, or trimming seam allowances.

The design combines functionality with comfort: The handles are ergonomically shaped and allow for good handling, even during longer cutting tasks. The curved shape of the scissors and the sturdy blade base ensure a clean, controlled cut. The cutting edge is hardened (manufacturer's specifications approx. 56 HRC) and designed for lasting sharpness.

The weight and balance of the scissors are designed to minimize fatigue—even during repeated cutting for hours, they remain comfortable and secure in the hand. The surface is cleanly crafted and polished, and the screw head is tight, ensuring a consistent cut.

Characteristics

TheKAI N5165Combines robustness and precision in a single tool. Its handle is pleasantly balanced—large enough for secure control, yet compact enough to precisely work on details. The hardened blade ensures durability and remains exceptionally sharp even with frequent use. Thanks to the high-quality workmanship, each blade glides through the fabric without pulling or jamming. The cutting edge remains clean, even when cutting multiple layers or with applied materials. The stainless, Japanese steel construction provides strength and resistance to corrosion. At the same time, the overall weight is selected to minimize fatigue during extended cutting. The joint is robustly designed and retains its precision even with frequent use—with excellent blade fit and consistent pressure across the entire cutting surface.

Application

Whether cutting fabric panels, working with appliqués, smoothing, or removing seam allowances, the KAI N5165 is ideal for all steps in the creative sewing process. It ensures even edges when cutting multi-layered fabrics, and offers control and precision when trimming small details. It cuts iron-on interfacing or similar materials precisely and cleanly. For best results, the scissors should always be kept clean and the joint regularly oiled. Cutting on a stable surface is also recommended to ensure straight cuts and prevent warping of the material.
