I recently learned of William Whiteley & Sons in Sheffield, England and was so impressed with their history and products that I purchased the new Expedition model scissors online from Ohio, USA. The finishing, engraving, and cutting action of these scissors is superb. A gift to my son that could be passed on for generations to follow.
