Jupiter Tailor Scissor – Heavy Duty Cloth Cutting Scissors (9–12 Inch)

Best for: tailors, boutiques, and garment factories who need a heavy-duty fabric-cutting scissor with tempered steel blades and a centre pivot that can be tightened or replaced instead of being thrown out once it loosens.

Jupiter tailor scissors are built for daily commercial cutting, not occasional home use — the blades hold an edge through repeated cuts across cotton, linen, rayon, silk, polyester, denim, canvas, suiting, shirting, and blended fabrics, and the centre nut-and-bolt assembly is serviceable rather than fixed, so a loose pivot is a two-minute adjustment instead of a reason to buy a new pair.

Key Features

• Tempered steel blades: precision-ground for a clean cut across heavier fabrics like denim and canvas, not just lightweight cottons. Tempered steel holds a sharper edge longer than basic stainless craft-scissor steel, but can spot with moisture — wipe the blades dry after use and store them closed, especially in humid weather.
• Replaceable centre nut & bolt: the pivot can be tightened as it wears, extending the scissor’s working life well past a fixed-rivet pair.
• Ergonomic handle: shaped for extended cutting sessions on a factory floor or tailoring table without hand fatigue.
• Long cutting edge: fewer blade movements needed per seam, which matters when cutting bulk fabric runs.

Available Sizes

Sold in 9, 10, 11, and 12 inch lengths, priced from ₹230 depending on size. Shorter lengths (9–10″) suit detail and boutique cutting; longer lengths (11–12″) suit long straight runs on factory cutting tables where fewer strokes per cut matters more than close control.

What’s in the Box

One Jupiter tailor scissor — no pouch, sharpening stone, or accessories included.

Jupiter Tailor Scissor Price and Size Guide

Jupiter tailor scissors start at ₹230, and the price depends on the length you pick. Among the 9, 10, 11 and 12 inch options, 10 inch is the size most tailors treat as the all-round pair. If you cut long panels, kurti lengths or uniform batches on a big table, the 12 inch saves you strokes. For collar, sleeve and pattern work, the 9 inch gives you more control. Prices for 12 inch tailoring scissors vary a lot across India online, from a few hundred rupees to over a thousand, because steel quality, handle and finish differ, so compare blade length and build, not just the number. If you’re comparing professional tailor scissors online, judge them on blade length, steel, and pivot type — that’s what actually separates the best tailor scissors from an overpriced or underbuilt pair, not just the price tag.

What Buyers Ask Before Buying Tailor Scissors

Which scissors are best for cutting fabric?

The best pair is the one that matches your cloth and your volume. Thin cotton and shirting cut well with a 9 or 10 inch pair. Denim, canvas and stacked layers go faster with a 12 inch pair, because the long blade keeps the cut straight. Whatever the size, use it only on cloth, so the edge stays clean.

What kind of scissors do tailors use?

Most tailors use long-bladed cloth cutting scissors, also called tailoring scissors, fabric shears, dressmaker scissors, or dressmaking shears. Ordinary household scissors chew the fabric and leave frayed edges, which is why shops and factories keep a dedicated pair.

How much do tailor scissors cost?

Basic tailoring scissors sell for a few hundred rupees, and heavy-duty 12 inch pairs cost more. A scissor that can be tightened at the centre pivot and sharpened by a professional usually costs less over time than a cheap pair you throw away when it loosens.

Why does my scissor slip or chew the cloth?

Most of the time the centre pivot has loosened, not the blade gone dull. Tighten the nut and bolt first. If the cut is still ragged, get the blades sharpened professionally and avoid bench grinders, which can spoil the steel.

Can I use fabric scissors on paper or cardboard?

Avoid it. Paper dulls a cloth blade much faster than fabric does, so keep one pair only for cloth and another for everything else.

FAQ

What fabrics can this scissor cut cleanly?

It’s built for cotton, linen, rayon, silk, polyester, denim, canvas, suiting, shirting, uniform fabric, and most blended textiles. The tempered steel blade holds its edge on heavier fabrics like denim and canvas better than a standard household scissor.

Which size should I buy — 9, 10, 11, or 12 inch?

Go with 9″ or 10″ for detail work and boutique-scale cutting where control matters more than speed. Go with 11″ or 12″ for garment-factory bulk cutting, where a longer blade means fewer strokes per seam across long fabric runs.

Can the blades be sharpened when they dull, or is this scissor disposable once blunt?

The blades can be professionally sharpened rather than replaced outright — avoid sharpening them yourself on a bench grinder, which can draw the temper out of the steel and ruin the edge permanently. A loose-feeling cut is often the centre pivot needing tightening, not the blade needing sharpening.

Is this scissor suitable for daily commercial/factory use, or only occasional home tailoring?

It’s built to heavy-duty commercial specification — the tempered steel blades and serviceable centre pivot are specifically what let it hold up under daily factory cutting, not just occasional home sewing use.

What’s included when I order this?

Just the scissor itself — no case, pouch, or sharpening accessories are included in the box.
