ANTIQUE STORK

What's the deal with the stork?

Did you know that the popular stork scissors originated with midwives? Originally used as a delivery clamp, the stork motif found its way into embroidery in the 19th century. The Antique Stork scissors have a typical stork design with a flat head screw representing the bird's eye and a pen drawing on the lower parts of the blades and the legs. Like all Ernest Wright scissors, these embroidery scissors are ground and assembled by hand.

First-class carbon steel blade

The Antique Stork scissors are made of carbon steel, a common type of steel that consists of iron and carbon. The higher the carbon content, the harder and stronger the steel becomes, but it loses ductility (formability). This makes it particularly suitable for applications that require high mechanical loads.
