This traditional pair of Chinese (Zhang Xiaoquan) Gold Embroidery Scissors are ideal for embroidery work. The iconic oversized loop handles offer incredible control without causing hand fatigue during long projects. The blades are short and fiercely sharp right up to the very tip, allowing for incredibly clean, crisp snips of threads and fabrics without any chewing or fraying. The handles are finished in a classic gold that will deepen and take on a gorgeous, rich patina over years of hands-on use.

Scissor size: 9 cm (3 1/2") Traditional Gold Scissors

Please note that the brass handles will naturally grow old with time, which is a celebrated characteristic of this historic design. We recommend keeping the blades clean to preserve the smooth cutting action for a long time.

Product Information:
The Blade is made from 2Cr13 stainless steel, a martensitic grade composed mostly of iron and chromium. It contains up to 0.3% residual nickel. While this is an extremely small amount compared to standard 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steels (which contain 8% to 10% nickel), the scissors are not completely 100% nickel-free.

The Handle is made from zinc alloy, which is completely nickel-free. Since your hands touch the handle during use, you won't have direct contact with nickel while gripping them normally. 

If you have a severe nickel allergy: Because trace amounts (less than 0.3%) exist in the metal matrix of the blade, touching the bare steel edge or blades directly could still potentially trigger a reaction in highly sensitive individuals.

Our Artisanal Philosophy
Our products are handmade. Therefore, every single piece carries artisanal qualities. While executing embroideries, it is only natural that our artisans interpret the sketched designs in their own unique way, leaving a personal stamp on the product. We believe these slight variations make your piece one-of-a-kind and are a desirable trait of handmade luxury.
