A pair of sturdy WaSa weaver's shears, used for trimming the pile of woven pieces, to ensure an even pile, as well as clipping loose threads, etc. With large bows and short curved shanks, these strong scissors will make short work of thicker threads. Made from forged carbon steel, blued for protection, with black japanned handles.
Founded in 1907 by August Waldmin and Fritz Saam, Waldmin & Saam (AKA WaSa) are known particularly for the delicacy of their embroidery snips — many of WaSa's designs date back over a century or more. Each pair of WaSa scissors requires dozens of individual steps, with painstaking attention to the handcrafted precision worthy of the Solingen, “City of Blades”, standard. Handcrafted from the best steels, hot dropped forged, hardened, tempered, hand ground, plated, polished, and honed, these scissors are made by highly skilled craftsman — a trade learned from father to son for over one hundred years.
Blued steel scissors require special attention to prevent tarnishing and damage to the blades. Make sure to wipe clean after use and dry thoroughly if wet. Store dry and occasionally oil to protect from humidity.
Overall length 15.5cm, with a blade length of 5cm, and a handle width of 7cm.
