WaSa Solingen Cuticle Scissors with Leather Pouch

WaSa Solingen Cuticle Scissors with Leather Pouch
£39.00
Ex Tax: £32.50

A fine pair of curved cuticle scissors with pointed tips for the cutting of cuticles and thinner nails. Made in Germany by WaSa from forged carbon steel, fully nickel plated and polished. Comes in a specially shaped, wine coloured leather pouch, with press-stud closure, perfect for travel or safe storage.

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. Overall length 9cm, with a blade length of 2.5cm, and a handle width of 5cm.

Nickel-plated carbon steel scissors require special attention to prevent tarnishing and damage to the blades. Make sure to wipe clean after use and dry thoroughly if wet. Store dry and occasionally oil to protect from humidity.


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

Rinse after use, and wash with hot soapy water when necessary. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry environment.
