Milward 2182111 9 centimetres Stork Embroidery Scissors

When I first started sewing my mother gave a pair of gold plated stork scissors made by Coats Anchor and I have looked after them for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, I spend a lot of time in and out of hospital and I did not want to take them with me in case I lost them, so I decided to get a second pair. Fortunately it was the "replacement" stork scissors that vanished from my embroidery bag when I was last at the hospital, along with several other things including an embroidery hoop and a number of dvds.I wanted another pair of stork scissors but could find any Anchor ones but I found these Milward ones, along with other gold coloured ones and some coloured ones.The scissors I received were gold plated up to the blades which are stainless steel.The blades make the beak of the stork with the main body of the scissors making the body of the bird and the handles are the feet.The scissors are duplicates of the original ones. They are same size as the original ones, so will fit in the sewing travel kit where the original scissors are kept and will fit alongside them when I come home. They also make a great talking point when others see them.They are sharp and do not chew the threads when I cut them and the "beak" comes to a fine point which allows you to snip close to the base material or to other threads meaning your work will have a neater reverse.I am delighted with these scissors, especially as Milward are one of the most reliable makers of sewing equipment around.These scissors are a great addition to anyone's sewing kit, and make a present which will be treasured for a lifetime.

Sharp and solid

Amazing embroidery scissors, I'm so glad I bought 2 pairs, I do have more than one project on the go at once! They are so sharp and cut perfectly right to the very point of the blades which is fabulous for cross stitch and trimming the ends of the thread as closely as possible to the fabric. A good weight and the size is just right for my medium sized hand.

I love these scissors. Been wanting them for years and finally treated myself. A case to keep them in would have been nice as the pointy tips are quite sharp and dangerous. Have stuck them into a wine Cork.

lovely traditional embroidery scissors, very sharp pointed tips, perfect for getting close to the sewing. only improvement suggested would be a small case to keep them protected.

Not up to the standard I expected .Points more squared off.

Great product

Perfect for what I wanted.

J'adore et j'utilise tout le temps. J'ai commandé 2ème pour une amie.
