These strong, long tailor's scissors have been designed specifically for professional tailoring tasks, such as cutting long lengths of cloth, covers for upholstered furniture and other major projects. Forged completely from hardened steel, the weight of the scissors sits comfortably in the hand and thus offers an excellent centre of gravity for precision in working. Their top quality lies especially in the blades, which promise long life, since they are sharpened by hand and thoroughly tested. The black varnished handle of this cutting tool has been ergonomically designed and has a large eye for up to four fingers to transfer the force of the hand effectively to the blades. The blades are sharpened by hand and these scissors have been designed asymmetrically, so that the lower blade remains on the work surface, preventing the fabric from lifting and shifting.
