I’ve searched a little and can’t find an answer. Can someone tell me the difference in Wiss W20 and 1225? I’ve been out of the trade for over 20 years and can’t remember the ones I preferred.

The 1225 (10") and the 1226 (12") are "knife edge" shears where one of the blades is ground with a much steeper angle than the other and that enables them to cut fine, slippery fabric a bit better than standard shears. For Upholstery fabric the Wiss w22w have been fine for me (12")
