Experience unrivalled precision and craftsmanship with the 12" PTFE Coated Wilkinson ‘Big Bolt’ tailors shears, handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley. Designed for professional tailoring, these shears feature the patented sidebent design, originally developed by Thomas Wilkinson in 1800 and later incorporated into Whiteley’s designs.
The PTFE coating creates a smooth, non-stick surface, allowing fabric, including adhesive-treated materials like fusible webbing, fabric glue, and spray adhesives, to glide effortlessly through the blades. This reduces friction for a clean, precise cut while also protecting against corrosion.
The gold plated ‘Big Bolt’ is a striking feature and allows for quick pick-up and smooth put-down – ideal for cutting large pieces of fabric with ease. The ergonomic handles with a thumb rest provide long-lasting comfort and reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Trusted by professional tailors, including those on Savile Row, these shears are built with over 200 years of scissor-making expertise.
A perfect blend of heritage, innovation, and expert craftsmanship, these shears are an essential tool for tailors, seamstresses, and fabric professionals.
