Our scissors are made of drop-forged non-stainless carbon steel. They feature screw- fastened, adjustable blades that allow the scissors’ action to be precisely adjusted. Each pair of scissors is available with either a shiny finish or a black burnished surface. The scissors are non-stainless and are not dishwasher safe! Clean and dry after use. Occasionally oil the gear mechanism and screw connection with sewing machine oil, then wipe.
