Sheffield’s scissors design heritage
We’re proud to say that some of the UK’s most beloved patterns of kitchen scissors were designed right here at Ernest Wright. However, we are far from the only Sheffield scissors-making company that has crafted new culinary models that stood the test of time.
Another such maker was Frank Turton (1886-1978). ‘Gentleman Frank’’s company produced iconic, top-quality scissors and shears throughout much of the 1900s – and the crown jewel among them was the Turton pattern of kitchen scissors.
Ernest Wright and Frank Turton were not only fellow craftsmen, but friends and golfing companions. So, it was to our especially great honour that Frank’s estate entrusted us to continue crafting the Turton Kitchen Scissors, after Frank Turton Scissors Ltd. closed its doors.
As one of the very few remaining scissors-makers in Sheffield, we’re conscious of our responsibility to preserve the city’s scissors design heritage. Using patterns or scissors-blanks created by our sadly departed predecessors is always on our mind, as we plan for the future.
