Fennek Italian Large-Handled Embroidery Scissors, 3.5”

Fennek Italian Large-Handled Embroidery Scissors, 3.5”
£14.00
Ex Tax: £11.67

A fully nickel plated and mirror polished pair of high quality embroidery scissors with large bows (handles) made in Premana, Italy, by Fennek, one of this historical scissor-making town's oldest makers. Perfect for detailed work, snipping threads or cutting out precise shapes, the large bows make these sharp little scissors easier to work with.

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 approximately 9cm, with blades of around 3cm 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.

By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over. 

Care Advice

Do not cut anything other than fabrics or threads to prevent premature dulling, and avoid moisture at all costs. Wipe with a soft cloth after use, and store in a dry environment. Fabric shears should be professionally sharpened when necessary — please don’t attempt to sharpen with tin foil!
  • Weight g 20g
