Attention

We are currently in the process of making a batch of this model, and some of the units being produced are still available to backorder. We expect the batch to be finished within 10 weeks, after which point the backorders can be fulfilled. This timescale should be taken as a conservative estimate, not a guarantee, as our production is limited and subject to change due to external factors.

MADE IN SHEFFIELD

The General Purpose Scissors are a decades-old pattern, cut from a batch of recovered blanks in 2020 by Ernest Wright. They are an ideal companion for working with textiles, or for all-purpose domestic use. Dressmakers and tailors will appreciate these scissors’ sharp, precise points, which are perfect for trimming fabric and unpicking threads.

Their neat profile, keen blades and smooth bows make the General Purpose Scissors a joy to use around the house, whether they are needed to cut paper, card, tape, fabric, or whatever else lands on your desk.
