The final word in household & industrial scissor usage. Made in the legendary steel town of Sheffield, England, by 11th-generation scissor makers, initially designed for industrial use — specifically to cut through Kevlar — these shears are nothing short of awe-inspiring. No matter the material you cut, be it packing tape, fabric, cardboard, or a bolt of ballistic nylon, you'll feel an uncanny sense of ease and be left wondering how you managed life without them. These shears are the perfect household and workshop tool: heavy, indestructible, extremely sharp, and non-stick (tapes and adhesives won't gum them up). We are proud to have worked with Whiteley for well over a decade now, The Kevlar Shears being our best-selling scissors of all time.

In the heart of Sheffield, England, a city once synonymous with the clang of the Industrial Revolution, William Whiteley & Sons stands as a living testament to the enduring craft of scissor-making. Founded in 1760, and with roots stretching even further back, this venerable institution has honed its edge through more than two and a half centuries, earning a Royal Warrant in 1840. The company's innovative "side bent" scissor design became a staple on Savile Row, cementing Whiteley's reputation in the annals of British craftsmanship.

Whiteley's has continued to cut through modern challenges with characteristic precision. Today, the 11th and 12th generations of the Whiteley family guide the company as it develops cutting-edge solutions for materials as advanced as carbon fiber and Kevlar, used in Formula 1 racing cars and bullet-proof vests.

Cleaning: After each use, wipe the inside of the blades with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust and fibers that can impair cutting ability. For heavier use, consider using a drop of light machine oil on a cloth to clean the blades weekly

Lubrication: Apply a drop or two of shear oil, such as clipper or shear oil, to the pivot area at least once per week. This helps ensure smooth operation and reduces friction. Wipe down the blades after applying oil

Sharpening: Occasionally, the shears may need sharpening. It is recommended to have this done by professionals experienced in sharpening fabric and tailoring shears, as incorrect sharpening can damage the shears

Storage: Store the shears in a dry environment with the blades closed to prevent damage. Avoid harsh treatment, such as dropping or bashing, which can cause irreversible edge damage

General Care: Avoid using the shears on inappropriate materials that could dull or damage the blades, such as cutting wire or other hard materials not intended for these shears
