Some people are surprised to learn we marry scissors or shears together like this, using a hammer to adjust the relation of the blades. It's testament to the putters' delicate touch, and to the hardness of the scissors and shears, that this approach is possible.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them. Sydney Smith

As craftspeople, our work lifts up other craftspeople. And vice versa. This video shows two craft companies whose products are vital to each other: Ernest Wright and Pajotten.

1. Kutrite Works, Snow Lane (from 1969) In 1969, Ernest Wright moved into this large factory on Snow Lane, formerly known as ‘Moorfield Works’. The company had outgrown its workshop, and was selling a vast range of hand tools – including the Kutrite Flat Kitchen Scissors.

Shipping Scissors from the UK to the USA — April 2025 Update We’re pleased to confirm that scissors shipped from the UK to the United States continue to qualify for duty-free entry under the de minimis threshold, as long as the value of the shipment is $800 USD or less.

We explore the irreplaceable joy of making things by hand – and how this enjoyment leads some craftspeople to undervalue their products. ernestwright.co.uk/the-undervalue…
