A fully nickel plated and mirror polished pair of high quality dressmaker's shears, made in Premana, Italy, by Fennek, one of this historical scissor-making town's oldest makers. Lighter than Tailor's shears, Wiss style dressmaker's shears are intended for the cutting of lighter dressmaking fabrics.
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 20cm, with blades of approximately 9cm 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.
