Description

Note: Plain steel (German: "blank") means the steel is untreated – no nickel plating or other surface finish, which usually makes this version a little more economical. The surface is protected only by oil. Keep the blades and shank lightly oiled and oil the joint regularly, otherwise humidity can cause tarnish or rust. The cutting edge itself is ground bare on every version. If you prefer a lower-maintenance surface, choose a nickel- or chrome-plated version.

Country of origin: European Union (Germany)

Frequently asked questions

How do I open a buttonhole safely?
Pierce the centre of the buttonhole with the tip and cut towards each end – this keeps the bar tacks intact.

What does "plain steel" (blank) mean for a WASA scissor?
It means untreated steel without nickel plating. The surface is only oiled, so blades, shank and joint should be lightly oiled regularly to prevent tarnish or rust. Nickel- or chrome-plated versions need less care.
