Gruffé French Tailor’s Shears, Chrome Plated, 9”

Gruffé French Tailor’s Shears, Chrome Plated, 9”
£29.00
Ex Tax: £24.17

A pair of 9” French style tailor’s shears made in chrome-plated carbon steel, with a straight, rather than sidebent, profile and sharp blades for smooth and clean cutting all the way to the tip. Perfect for demanding jobs, including thick fabrics, and cutting away from a flat surface — the straight handled design of these shears makes them ideal for tasks that require you to hold the material, such as cutting patterns or trimming seams away from the work table. Manufactured with an adjustable nut and bolt pivot screw for easy cleaning and fine-tuned precision.

Made in Italy by Gruffé Cutlery Associates, an independent association of scissor and medical instrument manufacturers based in Como, north of Milan. Founded in 1961, Gruffé have been working closely with makers local to the Como area, enhancing consistency and quality within the art of drop-forged blades and instruments.

Chrome-plated carbon steel scissors require special attention to prevent tarnishing and damage to the blades. Make sure to wipe clean, dry thoroughly and occasionally oil to protect from any humidity — it is recommended that these scissors are stored in a dry place. These scissors measure 23cm, with a blade length of 10cm.

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!
