Substantial stainless-steel shears for dressmaking, tailoring and upholstery. Handcrafted in Sheffield, England, the Whiteley EXO Silver combines a satin finish, shaped handles and long precision-ground blades. The distinctive bolt fixing supports a smooth pick-up and put-down motion at the cutting table.
Now named the 10-inch Satin Finish Tailor’s Shears by Whiteley, this is the same EXOSILVER model formerly known as the EXO Silver Shear.
