Wiss Shears

Wiss have been making high quality shears since 1847 when Thirty year-old cutler and gunsmith Jacob Wiss started his own business after immigrating to the U.S from Switzerland. Today Wiss Shears are known throughout the world for their high quality range of scissors and shears.

Best Quality Tailors Shears

Wiss developed their trademark inlaid blades to give maximum cutting quality but also to retain the strength of a forged steel blade. The Wiss “steel forged” process allowed the welding of inlaid blades of high carbon crucible steel to the forged steel frames of tailors’ shears. This essentially gives the durability of a forged blade steel with the cutting edge of high carbon steel.
