Tailor Shears

I have a minor obsession with vintage tailor shears. Few modern shears are as well made as their vintage counterparts. I spend a lot of time searching eBay for goods deals on old shears. Here are a few that I have found.



From top to bottom: American made Wiss 12.5" shears from the 1960's, Italian made Kingshead 12" shears, probably from the 1950's, and American made Heinisch 14" shears from the late 1800's.




Needless to say the Heinisch shears are my favorites.
