EXO Gold Shears

 €Ã‚ œThe best shears I have ever owned" With a stunning satin finish, ergonomic handles and razor sharp blades, the EXO gold are the highest professional-quality shear you can buy. Designed to fit comfortably in the hand while delivering a powerful cut, these shears are also ceramic coated to offer unparalleled durability and resistance.  €Ã‚ œBy far the highest quality of scissors I've yet to use" Endorsed by Savile Row tailors, the Ministry of Upholstery, and leading suppliers of craft tools, EXO are the go-to cutting choice of professionals, craftsmen and women, and hobbyists. Inspired by the historical shears made by our very own 'Master Cutler' Thomas Wilkinson in the 1800s, the design brings together the ergonomics of a heritage product with a stylish and technologically advanced finish. EXO Gold are 100% surgical-grade stainless steel, with state-of-the-art investment-cast handles, and industrial grade precision ground blades, and made by our master craftsmen at our facility in Sheffield, using techniques and skills developed over 259 years. The gold finish is a tough Titanium Nitride ceramic coating, often used to extend the life of drill bits, to ensure your EXOs have extra durability. Featuring our signature 'bolt' fixing, they allow for a speedy and smooth 'pick up' and 'put down' motion as well as adding an eye-catching styling cue. Supplied in a bespoke foam-lined box with optional personalised laser engraving on the back blade, these are also the ideal gift for tailors, home crafters, makers, sewers, dressmakers and more as well as being a great all-purpose household scissor. Approved by ultra-bespoke Master Tailor Andrew Ramroop OBE of Maurice Sedwell, and are now used by the Savile Row Academy to train the master tailors of the next generation so EXO users are in good company!

Meet the Maker: William Whiteley & Sons

William Whiteley & Sons has crafted the world's finest scissors and shears in Sheffield since 1760 - making them the oldest scissorsmiths in the western world and the UK's last remaining industrial scissor maker. Founded by William Whiteley and passed through eleven generations of direct family descent, this remarkable heritage spans over 260 years of unbroken excellence. Every pair is still hand-forged using traditional techniques lovingly handed down from master to apprentice, hot-forged from the finest Sheffield steel and individually tested. The company produces over 250 different types for cutting virtually every material - from delicate embroidery silks to industrial Kevlar. Their scissors won exhibition medals in London (1851, 1862) and Paris (1855), supplied the Royal Family and Savile Row tailors, and incorporate the historic Wilkinson trademark (Thomas Wilkinson & Sons, established 1875). Sheffield's legendary reputation for steel and cutting implements lives on in every William Whiteley creation - precision tools trusted by professionals worldwide and built to last generations.
