Experience unparalleled craftsmanship with the 10″ Wilkinson Black Tailor’s Shears, expertly handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley. These shears are the preferred choice of Savile Row tailors, crafters, and upholstery professionals, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced materials.
Inspired by Thomas Wilkinson’s 19th-century designs, these Tailor’s Shears feature ergonomic handles for maximum comfort and razor-sharp blades for unparalleled cutting accuracy. Crafted from 100% stainless steel, they offer exceptional sharpness and long-lasting durability. The signature ‘bolt’ fixing ensures a smooth pick-up and quick put-down motion, making them effortless to use for extended cutting sessions.
Formerly known as the EXO Shear, the name has been refined to align with the streamlined Whiteley brand, ensuring a more cohesive identity across our range. This change helps to preserve the focus on craftsmanship and heritage while simplifying the product’s association with the Whiteley legacy.
The Black Tungsten Carbide Carbon (WC-C) coating enhances hardness and abrasion resistance, offering unmatched durability for professionals who demand the highest quality tools. With over 260 years of scissor-making expertise, these shears represent the perfect fusion of heritage, innovation, and precision engineering.
