Wilkinson 8” Classic Fabric Shears
Description
Experience precision and craftsmanship with the 8″ Wilkinson Fabric Shears, handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley.
These fabric shears feature the innovative sidebent design, first patented by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800, which was integrated into Whiteley’s designs after acquiring Wilkinson’s business in 1875. This fusion of Wilkinson√¢s revolutionary design and Whiteley√¢s world-renowned craftsmanship ensures smooth, uninterrupted cuts, allowing the shears to rest flat against the tabletop and preventing the bottom bow from catching on the surface.
