A pair of nickel plated high quality dressmaker's shears with black bows or handles and tightening bolt, made in Premana, Italy, by Fennek, one of this historical scissor-making town's oldest makers. Tailor's shears have long, sharp blades for cutting fabric with accuracy and ease, especially for heavy-duty materials and multiple layers. Their design allows for long, clean cuts, and they are ideal for tasks like dressmaking, tailoring, and crafting, helping to keep the fabric flat on a surface for more precise results.
Drop forged in C50 carbon steel, the forged blanks are then Martensite hardened, making them strong, hard, and resistant to wear. The scissors are then expertly worked and assembled by a resident Regolatore (known as a 'Puttertogetherer' in the UK) before being plated with nickel, providing a protective layer that helps prevent rust and wear from friction. The handles go through several stages of grinding and polishing, while the blades are traditionally sharpened with hollow internal blades. Premana could be called Italy's equivalent to Sheffield in the UK or Solingen in Germany, home to the country's best makers of scissors and knives.
This pair of scissors measures 21cm, with blades of approximately 10cm in length. Avoid moisture, as these scissors can tarnish or rust if exposed. It is recommended that these scissors are stored in a dry place, and oiled occasionally if necessary.
