Kutrite – The rebirth of kitchen scissors
After decades of absence, a legend returns: the exclusive Kutrite kitchen scissors. Originally designed in the 1960s by renowned designer Philip Wright, they were an indispensable kitchen tool until the 1980s. Now they have been reissued with the utmost care and state-of-the-art craftsmanship.
The shape of the Kutrite is a harmony of clean lines and gentle curves. The serrated blades effortlessly cut through meat, vegetables, and virtually anything else that needs cutting in the kitchen. The scissors also offer additional utility with their integrated bottle opener, screw cap opener, and nut cracker.
The Kutrite kitchen scissors are delivered in a high-quality gift box.

Ernest Wright – handmade scissors from England
The term "Made in Sheffield" represents the city's long tradition and heritage in the steel and manufacturing industries. Ernest Wright adheres to traditional manufacturing methods, despite the general decline of handmade scissors craftsmanship in the United Kingdom. The company's craftsmen are known as "putters" or "master-putter-togetherers."
Product highlights
KUTRITE von Ernest Wright
An icon is back – the legendary Kutrite kitchen scissors
Our visit to Ernest Wright
In September 2024, the Iconic Tools team visited the factory in Sheffield. Upon entering the small workshop on Broad Lane, you can sense that history comes alive here: Old machines, some of which are over a hundred years old, still run like new. We had the unique opportunity to watch how simple blanks are transformed into unique, high-quality scissors through precise handcrafting. Every movement is perfect, every detail counts.
The manufacturing process of the scissors
Scissors like the KUTRITE undergo a careful manufacturing process that ensures the highest quality in several steps to provide you with a product that will delight you for a lifetime.
Forging & Forming
The blank—the rough basic shape of the scissors—is created from glowing steel. The final polishing is then done by hand.
Grinding and hardening
The inside of the handle (arm) is smoothed with a belt sander. Depending on the model, the scissors are then hardened in a salt bath or under vacuum.
Rumbling
The scissor halves are treated overnight in a drum with ceramic stones, which is called a rumpler.
This removes fine sanding marks and makes the surface silky smooth.
composition
The "Putter-Togetherer" carefully joins the two halves of the scissors, ensuring a precise fit to ensure the characteristic smoothness.
Sharpening & polishing
The blades are sharpened on a traditional whetstone. Each pair of scissors is then polished to a high shine.
Quality control & engraving
The scissors are checked for quality. Only at the end, when everything is perfect, is the name "Ernest Wright" engraved into the scissors.
