Pinking shears! Are there any good ones out there?

I am so tired of using pinking shears that "chop".  You know the kind-- they take tiny bites instead of a nice long , smooth cut.  I have had mine sharpened but it didn't help very much.  I have a serger so I don't use them as often as I used to, but every now-and-again I bring them out -- only to become frustrated!

Is there a brand that you love and would recommend?  Thanks for your help.

    I have a heavy all-metal pair of Gingers.  I haven't had to sharpen them yet so I can't tell you how well they can be sharpened, but they are super sharp and have no problems cutting through fabric.

      Thats what I have too. They are heavy & I have never had them sharpened either but they don't need it!

        i didn't know you could get them sharpened. i thought i read somewhere to buy cheap ones because they dull quick and couldn't be sharpened. this is good to know. i bought middle of the road fiskers.

          I don't know about pinking shears, but I can attest for Gingers.  I have there regulars scissors and they rock.  I'll never cut with anything else, so if they make pinking shears, I'd bet on those.
