MADE IN SHEFFIELD

The Left-handed Turton is a true left-handed version of the classic Sheffield Turton pattern. The serrated lower blade grips slippery cuts without sliding, while the handle incorporates a bottle/twist-cap opener and a nutcracker, features common to kitchen scissors of this kind. Designed for everyday kitchen tasks, from poultry and packaging to herbs and bottle tops, it brings the full function of the original right-handed Turton to left-handed users for the first time.

Mirroring the Turton Kitchen Scissors Pattern

We are pleased to continue making the classic Turton Kitchen Scissors pattern, both in its traditional right-handed form and in this true left-handed version.

The Turton pattern, first made by Frank Turton in the early twentieth century, came to be regarded among the best in the trade. Although his company closed in the 1980s, production continues at Ernest Wright with the blessing of the Turton family. In recent years, we introduced a true left-handed version, making the pattern available to left-handed users for the first time.

A true left-handed pair of scissors must be an exact mirror image of a right-handed pair. When a left-handed user operates right-handed scissors, the blades are pushed apart rather than together, reducing cutting performance. The Left-handed Turton is therefore made as a precise mirror image of the original pattern, allowing it to cut as intended in the left hand.
