The paper scissors

The Paper Hanger Scissors are made from blanks from the 1980s and help professional wallpaper hangers and enthusiasts cut wallpaper cleanly and precisely.

The blades of these scissors are long and straight, allowing for equally long, straight cuts. This is especially important when wallpapering, where wallpaper sections must be perfectly fitted to the wall and patterns between individual sections must be precisely joined. The blades of these scissors lie flat against the surface of a wallpapering table—an essential feature when wallpapering.

The 30.5 cm long Paper Hanger Scissors can be used for all kinds of paper crafts, from collage to garland making. The precisely tensioned blades of the scissors cut cleanly across the entire length without crumpling or tearing the paper.

The Pager Hanger paper scissors come in a high-quality leather protective case.

Made in Sheffield

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

PAPER HANGER von Ernest Wright

What does paper hanger mean?

The term Paper Hanger comes from English and stands for the craft of wallpapering. This craft has been practiced by British wallpaperers for centuries. The Paper Hanger wallpaper scissors with their long blade enable clean and correct cutting of wallpaper. But the Paper Hanger can also be used for other work with paper without any problem.

High quality carbon steel

The carbon steel used in the Papger Hanger scissors is a very durable steel whose strength is achieved through an increased carbon content. This type of steel is ideal for tools that have to withstand high loads. The paper scissors are therefore also ideal for long and frequent use.

How do I care for the Paper Hanger Scissors?

After using the Paper Hanger Scissors, they should be cleaned if necessary and then stored in the leather case provided. An occasional drop of oil (household or machine oil) on the screw area can protect against rust and ensure that the scissors move smoothly.

Who will benefit from paper scissors

The Paper Hanger paper scissors are designed for paper work, wallpaper or all kinds of craft projects. The long and straight blades guarantee clean cutting edges and make adjusting patterns much easier. They are optimally balanced and also ideal for thicker paper, cardboard or wallpaper.

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 PAPER HANGER 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.
