Approximately 17 centimeters long. This is a pair of sewing scissors from R. KLAAS Robert Klaas, a cutlery manufacturer in Solingen, Germany. While Zwilling J.A. Henckels is well-known in Japan, Robert Klaas is also famous for its high quality and traditional craftsmanship. I've used several pairs, so they are not like new. There is some rust, but the sharpness is excellent, and they accurately catch and cut fine threads. They are also indispensable for removing pills from knitwear. The artistic beauty makes you happy just to have them ^-^ Please examine the condition and consider purchasing if you are satisfied.
