Experience precision and craftsmanship with the Wilkinson 8″ ‘Xtra Sharp’ Serrated Fabric Shears, handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley.
These shears feature the innovative sidebent design, first patented by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800, was later integrated into Whiteley’s designs after acquiring Wilkinson’s business in 1875. This fusion of Wilkinson’s revolutionary design and Whiteley’s world-renowned expertise ensures smooth, uninterrupted cuts, allowing the shears to rest flat on the tabletop and preventing the bottom bow from catching on the surface.
These shears are perfect for upholsterers, curtain makers and heavy-duty crafters who need to cut through thick, durable fabrics with precision. Built for both efficiency and comfort, each pair is crafted with over two centuries of scissor-making expertise, ensuring lasting durability and reliability. Designed to easily cut through layers of fabric, leather, and upholstery materials, these shears offer exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
