At Thread & Maple, we are proud to offer the Wilkinson 8″ Black Sewing Shears, a premium tool celebrated worldwide for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Hot-forged from carbon steel, these sidebent shears are handmade by skilled artisans using techniques honed over centuries, delivering precision cutting for all types of fabric, from cotton to silk and velvet.
