Ciselier is the first-ever company founded to foster and promote appreciation for high-quality scissors and the heritage art of scissor-making. The vast majority of household scissors are of poor quality, mass-produced at a very low cost: disposable products. However, there are workshops, scattered around the world in communities historically associated with sword- and blade-making, that are keeping the art of high-quality scissor-making alive. Often multi-generational small family businesses, they continue to use time-tested forging, stamping, polishing and hand-assembly techniques to produce products intended to last a lifetime.
We have collected a carefully curated selection of luxury scissors made in the traditional way by makers committed to quality and craftsmanship. We search the world for the best and most beautiful scissors, testing and carefully evaluating each pair. If they “make the cut”, these scissors are stamped with the Ciselier “C” as a sign of the highest manufacturing standards.
Our selection is limited, and our small quantities reflect the time required to produce high-quality scissors. When a certain product is no longer available, we will provide a waiting list so that you may be notified when our inventory is replenished. We partner with a number of small producers that we are delighted to be able to introduce to you directly. Ciselier does not white-label our products: we want you to get to know our makers in order to better understand what makes them special and why their beautiful scissors are included in our collection.
Scissors are one of the few household tools that are used universally around the world. We believe every pair of scissors in your home should be a delight to use and last a lifetime.
