WaSa Solingen Household Scissors, Nickel Plated

WaSa Solingen Household Scissors, Nickel Plated
£18.00
Ex Tax: £15.00

A pair of fully nickel-plated carbon steel household scissors, for general jobs around the house — it's always good to keep a good pair of scissors to hand!. Drop forged from carbon steel, with carefully shaped bows for a comfortable grip, these scissors can serve a multitude of purposes. For dry use only.

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. 

Nickel-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.

Overall length 17.5cm, with a blade length of 8cm, and a handle width of 5.5cm.


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

Wipe down after use, and store in a dry environment. Remove any sticky residue as soon as possible if scissors have been used to cut tape.
