WASA weaver’s scissors are short, sturdy scissors with small cutting edges for quickly snipping threads at the loom, the sewing machine and in garment making. Depending on the model they come with straight or curved blades, in plain steel or nickel-plated, as well as special forms such as the flat-table scissors or the single-ring scissors guided with one finger.
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
When are curved weaver’s scissors useful?
Curved blades reach threads flat on the fabric and on the machine more easily – ideal for trimming.
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.
