Manufactured and made in Sheffield by William Whiteley & Sons. Whiteley’s was founded in 1760 and is now the last industrial scissor-maker in the UK, and the oldest scissorsmiths in the Western world. Whiteley’s is a leading producer of industrial and professional scissors and shears, developing cutting solutions to match the latest materials in automotive, aerospace and many other industries. Each scissor produced by the company is still hand-made, assembled and tested by craftsmen, using the skill and techniques honed and handed down over centuries.

These side-bent pinking shears feature a saw-tooth blade design, perfect for cutting fabric in a zig-zag pattern to prevent fraying, especially useful when working with woven fabrics. The side-bent design, first patented by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800, allows the shears to rest flat against the tabletop, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted cuts. This innovative feature, combined with the ergonomic handles and carbon steel blades, offers precision and control with every cut. Ideal for dressmakers, tailors, and quilters, these shears are an essential tool for any sewing kit. Crafted with over 200 years of expertise, these shears reflect the legacy of Wilkinson’s pioneering scissor-making techniques, integrated into Whiteley’s renowned craftsmanship.
