The Survival Kit

The Whiteley Survival Kit combines the two top-pick tools for any outdoor adventure, the Survival Knife and Expedition Scissors.
SURVIVAL KNIFE
The beautifully handcrafted Whiteley Survival Knife makes an ideal tool for any adventurer's armory. Manufactured in Sheffield from CS80 Carbon Steel, often referred to as Spring Steel. Spring steel is widely used in many industries including knives and swords and provides excellent edge retention and durability, meaning the Whiteley Survival Knife has been designed and built to last whatever you throw at it. The blade is also Teflon coated making it more resistant to wear and corrosion.
EXPEDITION SCISSORS
The Whiteley Expedition scissors are perfect for trips camping and other outdoor activities. Featuring an extra durable Tetrabond ceramic coating used widely by aerospace and other high tech industries, where high durability and extended life are essential, you can be confident in knowing that the Expedition scissors are built to last.
The Expedition scissors are designed with multi-use features at the heart of the design. The offset handles are designed with additional features including a garlic/nut cracker function and an integral tin and bottle opener meaning you'll never be caught short at a barbecue around a camp fire.
The Survival Kit really is our ultimate survival duo. To top it all off everything will arrive packaged in the signature Whiteley presentation and gift boxes.
William Whiteley are the oldest surviving scissorworks in the western world and have been making scissors since 1760.

    The products I received are of excellent quality but the customer service experience was equally as satisfying, which is increasingly rare these days. My goods were made to order and Dan kept me up to date and informed at each stage of the process, liaising with the manufacturers and couriers. My order arrived on time and Dan ensured it was arranged around a trip away to make sure I was able to receive it. Fantastic service and quality products, I wouldn't hesitate to order from Sir Gordon Bennett again.

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.
