Sajou French Stork Embroidery Scissors

Sajou French Stork Embroidery Scissors
£26.50
Ex Tax: £22.08

French-made, beautifully finished embroidery scissors in a classic stork pattern and with gold-plated neck, body, and handles. It’s believed that the stork design had its origins in the decoration of umbilical clamps modelled thus after the mythological feathered midwife. From small workshops in the town of Nogent in the Haute-Marne region of France — a place known for its cutlery and scissor manufacturing since the early 14th century. 9cm in length — making these useful for both embroidery and other small and detailed cutting jobs in the workshop. Supplied in a patterned cardboard box (patterns vary), and with Sajou's iconic ribbon on one handle.


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
  • Item Dimensions L9.3 x W4 x H0.4, Cutting Edge L2.5
