- The artisan scissors-makers (known as ‘putters’) at Ernest Wright, Sheffield, explain some of the physical qualities, characteristics and crafting processes that go into a fine pair of handmade scissors - as well as providing some background on Sheffield’s steel and cutlery heritage.
This short film by Toby Essex follows putters Jonathan, Neil, Sam, James and Tony on a scissors workshop tour, as they carry out scissors-making processes including inside bow grinding on flexible belts, putting-together, flat-grinding, and grinding blades using a stone grinding wheel mounted on a saddle grinder. Learn how scissors are made, and find out more about the history of scissors-making!

Just got my Kutrite, and will be using and putting it through its paces in my professional kitchen, so far so good, they’re beautifully made and love the substantial weight on them too
It's great to see the traditional scissor making skills passed on kept alive, long may it continue ✂️
I own two pair of your scissors, and every time I use them, I think of the craftsmanship that goes into them. They are truly a marvel. Thank you.
Buen Feeling...........-------👈👍🏼. Saludos desde España @donfilo59😊
Those Heritage shears are pure Art.
So glad The Masters passed on their skills.
True craftsmanship 👌
I used to collect a lot of various mass-production scissors, because they would stop cutting over time and I had to grab a new pair. Since purchasing my Ernest Wrights, that has stopped and it seems that now I have the only scissors I will ever need. I look forward to ordering the large shears and adding them to EW collection.
Wish you did a barber scissor.
I would have loved a pair.
I hope to be able to pick up a pair of the 8.25" fabric scissors and general purpose scissors in the near future. Keep up the great work!
I hope you have again, in the future back the duckbill scissors and the curved shank ones.
I’ve just received my second order & love these scissors! Where do the raw scissor halves come from? Who forges them & is that also in Sheffield?
Some patterns are forged in Sheffield in the late 80s and early 90s. Others are forged in Germany and Italy as usual for 100+ years.
A good video, but it didn't move me as much as the original video they made a few years back, when the 'old boys' were still making them (czcams.com/video/PWRw_6StpQQ/video.html). Truly, that was a great video, even just thinking about it now moves me.
I could not agree more - the original video, instigated by Nick Wright to record the skills employed , it went viral. What followed is well documented and the business is on a much firmer footing. I suspect that neither Nick or Shaun, both no longer with us could have foreseen what impact the video would have to this very day.
