8.25 inch Dressmaker Scissors

Ernest Wright Ltd

£87

Like all Ernest Wright scissors and shears, the 8.25 inch Dressmaker shears begin as two solid bars of carbon steel. Through the traditional process of hot forging, a bar is converted into a blank before our putter-togetherers get to work. The die for the 8.25 inch is an old Sheffield pattern unearthed and revitalised. Made to order, these unique scissors will never let you down.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ERNEST WRIGHT LTD, number 11510041. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
