THE BEST KITCHEN SCISSORS
Our classic stainless steel kitchen scissors have been called “the last pair of kitchen scissors you’ll ever need” and “the best kitchen scissors money can buy”. With their unique design and dedicated craftsmanship, these are scissors made to last a lifetime. We also offer personalization with bespoke laser engraving on the back blade, making them the ideal gift.
What’s the difference between serrated and non-serrated blades?
We often get customers asking for advice on which type of scissor suits which material, and one of the first things to consider is the type of edge on the blade. Our sidebent scissors come both serrated (Wilkinson Classic) or non serrated (Wilkinson X-tra Sharp).
