WaSa Solingen Barber's Scissors with Hook, 6"

WaSa Solingen Barber's Scissors with Hook, 6"
£36.00
Ex Tax: £30.00

A pair of classic barber's scissors with straight shanks and a hook on the lower handle to balance on a finger. Made from forged carbon steel, fully nickel-plated, for a clean cut, right up to the tip. 

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 after use, dry thoroughly. Store dry and occasionally oil to protect from humidity.

Overall length 14cm, with a blade length of 5cm, and a handle width of 4.5cm.


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.
