The WASA Candle Scissors 5.5" is hand-forged wick scissors with gold-plated handles, supplied in a box. Version: gold-plated. A historically faithful reproduction: the specially hardened black screws of the original are replaced today by blued screws, whose colour can range from bluish silver through steel grey to black.
WASA kitchen and table scissors combine craftsmanship with practical details: the stainless kitchen and fish scissors are take-apart and can be separated for cleaning; the serrated edge of the fish scissors holds bones and skin securely. Grape scissors divide bunches at the table, candle scissors trim the wick cleanly.
WASA stands for Waldmin & Saam: the scissor manufacturer was founded in Solingen in 1907 by August Waldmin and Friedrich Saam and is still known today for forged quality scissors – above all embroidery and needlework scissors.

Frequently asked questions
What does "take-apart" mean?
When opened, the two blades can be separated from each other, so the scissors can be cleaned thoroughly.
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.
