Experience precision and craftsmanship with the 8″ Wilkinson PTFE Coated Fabric Shears, handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley.
These fabric shears feature the patented sidebent design, first developed by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800 and integrated into Whiteley’s designs after acquiring Wilkinson’s business in 1875. The PTFE coating provides a smooth, non-stick surface that allows fabric, including those treated with adhesives like fusible webbing, fabric glues, or spray adhesives, to glide effortlessly through the blades without sticking. This reduces friction, ensuring a clean, precise cut and adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring they remain in top condition for years to come.
Perfect for sewing, tailoring, crafting and more these fabric shears offer both comfort and precision. Crafted with over 200 years of scissor-making expertise, they are designed to withstand the rigours of frequent use while maintaining their sharpness. Whether cutting through adhesive-coated fabrics or traditional materials, these shears are the perfect blend of high-quality craftsmanship, innovation, and style.
