Kai 7230 9-inch Professional Shears – Power and Precision for Thick Fabrics
The Kai 7230 - 9" Professional Shears are engineered to handle thicker, more challenging fabrics with ease. Part of the renowned 7000 Professional Series, these shears are crafted from high-carbon, hardened stainless steel. The added carbon content enables a steeper cutting angle, resulting in a sharper, longer-lasting edge—perfect for cutting through dense or layered fabrics.
While robust, the 7230 is also lightweight for its size, offering the cutting capacity of a larger shear with the ease of a smaller one. It’s an excellent option for sewists who need power without bulk, and its 9" length makes it suitable for a wide range of sewing tasks, from garment construction to quilting.
Ideal for those with smaller hands or anyone who prefers a lighter tool, the Kai 7230 provides superior cutting control without sacrificing performance. Unlike the 10" 7250, the extra inch in the 7250 is in the handle, not the blade—making the 7230 perfect for precision and comfort.
