The 12" hardened industrial shears forged from C60 carbon steel and hardened to 59 HRC and designed for hard work on tough material; metal threaded textiles, canvas, sailcloth, tweed, denim, leather etc. There is a rumor that the C60 steel these were made with was developed for government use cutting Kevlar and carbon fiber for bulletproof vests. Handmade and expertly put together, they have the same precision and feel that make Ernest Wright scissors world-famous. 

Founded by the Wright family in 1902, five generations have worked to manufacture precise scissors and shears in Sheffield England. Handmade and assembled by a small team of forgers, grinders, polishers and "putter-togetherers," Ernest Wright scissors and shears are beautiful and precisely functioning tools.

Comes with leather sheath.
