Find Your Scissor — Six Questions with the Scissorsmith
Six questions. Answered the way I'd answer them if you were standing at my bench. — Matt Grumley, scissorsmith
Left or right handed?
What fills most of your day?
Hours behind the chair on your biggest day?
Blade length you reach for?
How do you like a scissor to feel?
By the end of a long day, how are your hand and thumb?
Almost nobody asks this, and it changes the answer more than anything else on this page.
Ships free. The steel is forged by our specialist partner factories in Japan; Matt hand-finishes, tensions and inspects every pair at the Lake Wendouree bench before it ships. Warranted for life against manufacturing defects. Prices and sizes are current at the time of asking — the product page is always the final word.
