Made in Sheffield WILKINSON EXO SILVER Tailors Shears 10 Inch Description
With a sleek silver finish, ergonomic handles, and razor-sharp blades, the EXO Silver is the highest professional-quality shear you can buy. Designed to fit comfortably in the hand while delivering a powerful cut.
Endorsed by Savile Row tailors, the Ministry of Upholstery, and leading suppliers of craft tools, EXO is 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 Silver is 100% surgical-grade stainless steel with a striking matte finish, 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 257 years. 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 personalized 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! Specifications
