WaSa Solingen Gold Handled Embroidery Scissors, 3.5"

WaSa Solingen Gold Handled Embroidery Scissors, 3.5"
£29.00
Ex Tax: £24.17

An elegantly simple pair of embroidery scissors, measuring 3.5" in length, with cleverly shaped handles giving a further finger-rest, increasing the user's control for greater accuracy. Made from forged carbon steel plated in nickel, with gold-plated handles. Their fine points and highly sharpened blades make these a joy to use for smaller sewing projects and embroidery. 

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 8.5cm, with a blade length of 2.5cm, and a handle width of 3.5cm.


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

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!
