Tools and Notions

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.

The "sidebent" design, with its bent handle, allows for flat, stable cutting along a table surface without disturbing the fabric, enabling straight, accurate cuts with ease. Ideal for those with small to medium-sized hands or for anyone who prefers a slightly lighter tool, these shears provide the same precise performance as larger models in a more compact size.

The Wilkinson Black range features a durable Teflon coating originally designed for industrial use. This non-stick finish prevents tape or adhesive residue from damaging the blades while enhancing their durability, making them a reliable, long-lasting addition to your sewing kit.

Each pair is branded with the historic Wilkinson trademark, honoring Thomas Wilkinson & Sons, incorporated into Whiteley in 1875. Presented in a signature William Whiteley gift box, these shears are a perfect gift option and can be customized with bespoke laser engraving for an extra-special touch.

Ideal for cutting:

• Cotton
• Jersey
• Linen
• Velvet
• Silk
• Challis

These professional-grade shears are a timeless investment in quality and functionality, trusted by sewing and tailoring professionals worldwide.
