Wilkinson by Whiteley 10" Left-Handed Blacked Shears, Made in England
Carbon steel left-handed fabric shears coated with PTFE. The coating reduces friction, provides a smooth non-stick surface, and adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring they remain in peak condition for years. Even fabrics treated with adhesives (like fusible webbing, fabric glues, or spray adhesives) glide effortlessly through the blades without sticking. They're ideal for light to medium weight fabrics, and their sidebent design - first patented by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800 - allows the shears to rest flat against the tabletop, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted cuts.
