Best Scissors in the World??? ✂️ William Whiteley & Sons

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ม.ค. 2022
- Let's try out $108 sewing scissors hand crafted in Sheffield, England by skilled artisans. These are the 8-inch Wilkinson Gold Sidebents by William Whiteley & Sons, a family-run scissor manufacturing company that started in 1760. How do they compare with my (relatively) more budget-friendly Gingher 8-inch Knife Edge Dressmaker's Shears

Saw them advertised
out of stock. :-(
Bougie is the correct word for those. Nice to hear companies like that are still around. I know those are worth every penny. Congratulations
Interesting.....a company that old with a product so fine still in existence, there's no words. So many legacy sewing brands like Singer go by the wayside altogether or get bought out and the quality is lacking. These scissors make me think of my grandma's Singer treadle machine,, I have it now and it STILL works! Thank you for sharing this. If I wanna splurge this would be the place and it makes sense. Scissors in your sewing room are a must--- GOOD SCISSORS are practically your right arm.
History majors love this, so thank you, I appreciated the backstory. Nice you treated yourself, well done!
Sheffield's steel history is extremely deep. Last year I popped into a museum there (millennium gallery) and those scissors were in a display and it certainly put into perspective the pride the city has for it's roots
I’m impressed with the history and heritage of the company. The artisanship in the making of the scissors really spoke to me, and my first thought was “Gosh, they charge only $108? I’ll be interested to find out how they perform over the years. On the other hand, I’ve had my Gingher shears for quite a while, and they’re wonderful. My mom’s been gone for 18 years. She had Gingher pinking shears that are now mine. They are so much better than other pinking shears I’ve tried, there’s just no comparison. I bought some Fiskar pinking shears for my granddaughter and ended up throwing them away.
It's kind of sad how conditioned we are to buying cheap, mass produced goods. Whitely's employs skilled craftspeople and uses time-honored traditions. I'm glad they are still around and sharing this art with consumers who appreciate and can afford this type of product.
I need those scissors!!!! How did I not know about this company? Remarkable!
Another great video!
Those look like a dream to use!
P.S. I LOVE my little glue bottle from your shop…the way is squeezes so softly, and the cap is very easy to remove and replace. Thank you for the stickers, I decorated my journal and electric toothbrush with them - love seeing “sewist” when I brush!
That glue bottle IS perfect. I have used it for a while now, and bought another recently as a stocking stuffer for my sewist daughter.
They look really high end....almost like jewelry for your sewing room. 😊
I got my Gingher Shears back in the mid 1980s. I was taking a sewing class at the local tech college and the teacher got a deal on a bulk order, so we all bought them, and for me at the time spending $35.00 on a pair of shears was a big deal. (Also got my first Rowenta iron on a similar type deal at the same time, and that first on lasted over 20 years.) Anyway, to this day I still love and use my Ginghers, and also own their pinking shears and some embroidery scissors. I am also a fan of the Kai serrated fabric shears. Once my daughter started sewing, and stuck with it, (over 11 years now), she'd "earned her Ginghers" and I bought her a pair for her birthday. I'd not heard of this Whitely brand before, and if I were in need of some great shears, I'd look into it.
thanks for sharing I'm looking for good scissors for cutting marine fabric you helped me thank you...
O.k., these are now on my wish list. Don't even need them as I have a pair of Gingers, Case, and Kai. What can I say, I like nice scissors. And I love the thought of the handmade quality and history. Plus I have fabric, rulers, and sewing machines.
Hello! This video was very helpful. Have you used the pair from Ernest Wright and Sons yet? I am wondering how those two are in comparison!
Unfortunately, many people ,even though they aren't even at a beginner level on sharpening, claim they can sharpen knives or scissors, with the same reslut always, your tool geting ruined, instead of coming back to you properly shrpened. I do sharpen/repair knives and scissors for living, since the late 80s. You won't believe, hoew many times a customer, bropught me a pair of scissors or knives, that someone who had told them he knew how to, not only he didn't but he completely destroed, all thse people's tools. So.. Always trust a known professionalk.The more well know he is at his job, the better.
Did you get your Ernest Wright scissors?
Whitely vs Wright...Which is better?
Surely the longevity is the important thing, and how well they stay sharp?
Did you get the Ernest Wright scissors and if so what do you think of them?
I am wondering this too
Here I thought I was spendy for getting a pair of Ginghers from Joann's on sale. LoL. I am obsessed with scissors and blades. I loathe dull blades with all my being. I always make sure I have sharp cutting tools. I just wish I had chosen better than I did for pinking shears because the ones I chose cut well but are hella uncomfortable.
You're the 2nd person to mention pinking shears, and I concur the ones I own are NOT comfortable to use. On the search for better ones...
What about the klasse rose gold 8.5inch dressmaking shears and the embroidery scissors and thimble?
Good suggestion! I am actually able to buy these products wholesale so I'll consider!
@@SewingReport thank you ;)
So the gold plating- does that mean if you actually use them that there will be worn areas where the "gold" will wear off and be unsightly?
I honestly don't know as I've only had them a few days
thanks for review...honestly when you said bougie i expected 200 and up lol
Wait until the Ernest Wright review...
@@SewingReport lol...oh...
Do you have a recommendation for good pinking shears? I have Gingher pinking shears and they are terrible. 🙁
I'll have to look into it... Mine are cheapo IKEA pinking shears and they are okay but I don't love them. They're pretty bulky and not comfortable to use.
I seriously wonder if pinking shears due to the nature of their utility will ever be comfortable regardless of quality? 🤷
Evelyn Wood recommends Mundial 7 1/2” - also made in Italy. I love mine and they do a gorgeous pink cut!
My 40 year old Singer pinking shears are more comfortable than my mom’s Gingher’s for my hands, but they both cut well. 😊 Try looking for estate sales. It’s amazing what you can find there. Yesterday I found 2 drawers of old thread, not usable anymore, but with wooden spools! I see a special project coming my way!
@@lynnshepard7485 I love the old wooden spools as I have antique machines that don't like cross-wound thread without adding a special contraption or thread stand (something I'm not so keen on when I'm aiming for an authentic historical look in the use of the antique machines). So I got a little gadget that lets you wind stack-wound spools of new thread onto your average wooden cotton reels using the bobbin winder on your electric machine. I had trouble getting a smooth result until I put my machine in "slow sewing" mode - then it worked like a charm. There are youtube vids of it (and other methods people have used to do the same) so if you want to keep your wooden cotton reels for sewing, but use modern thread, you can do it. :-)
1st question is are they made left handed at the same price.
Not sure about this model, but I've seen others on the website with left-handed versions.
@@SewingReport thanks. It's tough. I have to pay $30 more for dog grooming shears, just to get lefties. ☹
I'm left-handed, but for whatever reason do certain functions right-handed like cutting.
@@SewingReport I bowl, bat, and golf right-handed. 😁
I have bought these and Ernst Wright whih costing £260 about $316 dollars. However buying a pair of Japanese made ones costing £78! Its ironic that. TBH nothing is made in England any more and you can see why the price is sky high! It goodnight form Britian and British Industry. Once a nation that made things now alas only make thier own people unemployed!
How do you like the Wright scissors? How do they compare?
Personally, I like Kai better than Gingher.
