Are fabric scissors stronger than pinking scissors?
The difference between fabric scissors and pinking shears is not one of strength. Pinking shears are designed to give a zig-zag cut rather than a straight cut (which for some kinds of fabric will help prevent the cloth from unravelling into its constituent threads).
How did pinking shears get their names?
The cut produced by pinking shears may have given its name to (or be derived from) the plant name pink, a flowering plant in the genus Dianthus (commonly called a carnation). The colour pink may have been named after these flowers, although the origins of the name are not definitively known. As the carnation has scalloped, or "pinked", edges to its petals, pinking shears can be thought to produce an edge similar to the flower.
