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.
