Pinking shears

Pinking shears
£42.50
Ex Tax: £35.42
Nickel plated, black lacquered offset handled professional pinking shears with extra deep, variably raked teeth for a satisfyingly crisp pinked cut. Put-together and finished from hot forged Italian blanks in Sheffield by the firm of William Whiteley & Sons, scissor makers and putter-togetherers since at least 1760 and generally recognised as one of Europe's, if not the world's finest and longest established scissor manufacturers.

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!
  • Item Dimensions 1975-8
  • Materials Carbon steel and nickel plated lacquered steel
