Perfecting each component requires a cutting technique that is at once crisp, decisive and careful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 11″ Bookbinder Scissors are designed to meet the particular requirements of the bookbinder’s craft. The blades are long, straight, and enduringly sharp thanks to their carbon steel composition. Crucially, their cutting length exceeds the height and width of most books – so they can cut the materials in one or two actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhereas some craftspeople, such as embroiderers and quilters, require scissors with a sharp point, in bookbinding a pointy tip brings the risk of removing slightly too much material. To help bookbinders cut with perfect accuracy – especially around the tricky corners of bookcloth and paper pieces – a flat,  soft-edged point has been ground onto the 11″ Bookbinder Scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 11″  Bookbinder Scissors have been adapted from a 1980s pattern of Paperhanger Scissors, which is also part of the Ernest Wright range. While the Bookbinder Scissors were custom-made for bookbinding, they are also suitable for some other crafts where precision is paramount, such as collage-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn how Ernest Wright scissors are made:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom ITV4: \u003ca title=\"Ernest Wright featured in ITV4's \u0026quot;Made in Britain\u0026quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qEzyHN6q5kY\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qEzyHN6q5kY\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom Business Insider: \u003ca title=\"Why Ernest Wright Scissors Are So Expensive | So Expensive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bK4AWtTV3h4\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bK4AWtTV3h4\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheffield Museums: \u003ca title=\"Sheffield Makes: Ernest Wright\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9Hf9GfrOyRI\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9Hf9GfrOyRI\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy it's special: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot drop forged high quality carbon steel for long-life precision edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand polished finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade brown leather pouch included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecs: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 11\" \/ 29.94 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 5.7\" \/ 14.48 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Sheffield England\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare of carbon steel scissors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAfter use, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealways wipe your carbon-steel scissors clean and dry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and store them away from any water, salt or humidity.
