Ernest Wright - 12" Hardened Industrial Shears - Carbon Steel

Paperhanging is the art of hanging wallpaper. This trade has been practiced masterfully by British paper hangers for centuries – you’ll see their work everywhere from stately homes with hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper, to contemporary small businesses with bespoke interiors.

Made from 1980s blanks, our Paper Hanger scissors will help professional and enthusiast paperhangers cut wallpaper clean and true.

The blades are long and straight, and they produce long, straight cuts to match. This is particularly important in paperhanging, where sections of wallpaper must be cut to perfectly fit the wall, and patterns on the wallpaper need to be matched accurately between sections of wallpaper. The blades of these scissors will lie flush on the surface of a trestle table – an essential attribute for paperhanging.

More than just a wallpaper scissor, the 12″ Paper Hanger can be used for all sorts of paper crafts, from collage to garland-making. The scissors’ precisely tensioned blades cut cleanly along their full length, without chewing or crumpling the paper.
