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

TURTON von Ernest Wright

Sheffield's scissors legacy lives on

With the Turton, Ernest Wright created one of the most popular kitchen scissors models in the United Kingdom. Frank Turton was another scissors manufacturer in Sheffield who produced high quality scissors for much of the 20th century. Ernest Wright and Frank Turton were not only fellow craftsmen, but also friends and golf buddies. After the closure of Frank Turton Scissors Ltd., Ernest Wright was entrusted with the continuation of the Turton kitchen scissors. Ernest Wright thus ultimately preserves the city's scissor design heritage.

The advantages of drop forged stainless steel

Drop forging is a forging process in which heated metal is pressed into a mold (die). This results in improved material structure and strength compared to cast or cut shears. Drop forged hygienic stainless steel is a high quality, rust-proof stainless steel that has been specifically developed for hygienic applications. It is characterized by a smooth surface that is easy to clean and minimizes bacterial growth.

Care instructions when using the Turton

After use, wipe the Turton clean and dry and store it away from moisture, preferably in dry fabric or leather. The Turton scissors can be washed by hand without any problem. Occasionally you can put a drop of oil (household or machine oil) in the screw area. After that, the scissors should be moved several times to distribute the oil well. The screw of the scissors should not be adjusted so that the scissors do not fall apart.

A classic, reinterpreted

The Turton scissors are a true all-rounder. They can effortlessly handle a wide range of cutting tasks. Whether for chopping herbs, cutting poultry or opening nuts - the Turton is always there. Its classic design is complemented by modern elements such as the serrated blades and the integrated bottle opener. And the best thing: the Turton is also available for left-handers.

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 TURTON 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.
