HISTORY IN THE MAKING

HANDMADE SCISSORS FROM SHEFFIELD

Each pair of Ernest Wright scissors and shears reflects over a century of knowledge, passion and character. Seamlessly blending supreme quality into everyday use. Bought once, they’ll love you for a lifetime.

ORDERING FROM ERNEST WRIGHT

We are committed to crafting scissors and shears with perfect performance. Each pair is given all the time and care it needs.

Working meticulously ensures quality, but it also means we don’t often have stock available to buy straightaway. Instead, most customers will need to back-order their desired model. Once a back-order is placed, the scissors or shears are usually delivered within approx. 12 weeks. This also means that products ordered after the 25th of September 2023 will not be delivered before Christmas.

Not all models are currently available on back-order. If you’re interested in an unavailable model, please email ku.oc.thgirwtsenre@ofni so that we can add you to the relevant waiting list.
