Length: 12"
New shipment underway. Please join our Wait List to be notified of arrival. We're the first to admit that these scissors are... a little unusual. We're delighted to be able to offer a very limited selection of scissors from Ernest Wright, the venerable and famous heritage maker from Sheffield. When we heard about these whopping 12" paper hangers, crafted from blanks forged in the 1980's and not since, we could not resist. These 12" scissors are not for the faint of heart, and would be right at home in any collection. Or, perhaps someone in your life needs a pair of "big ass scissors"? These are them. This type of scissor was traditionally used by wallpaperers to make long, straight cuts. For a sense of their scale, please look at the size illustration in our photo gallery.
At present, available only through Ciselier. Please join our Wait List to be notified when our shipment arrives.
Made of drop-forged carbon steel, Ernest Wright scissors are famous for their meticulous and exclusive hand finishing. None of Wrights' scissors are plated, but instead individually polished to a durable mirror gloss. Please note that this pair of collectors' scissors comes with a custom 12" protective brown leather scabbard, embossed with the Ernest Wright logo, and is shipped in Ciselier packaging.
