Folding Scissors Are Superb
They take near zero space folded
Folding Scissors are beautiful and useful tools. We have seen them in Asia, but none of them were really any good. The trick is that they have to be formed and assembled with great care, or they won't fold and unfold easily. This takes experience and real quality control. It now appears that there is only one European source for these left: a small, personal workshop of a very experienced master cutler in Nogent, France. It is he who makes these for us.

They are simply beautiful, work smoothly, and fold right up to go in the leather case. We love these, and hope that the maker continues to produce for years.

Trusted Old Friend
Reviewed By:  Geri Finn (Naples, FL) 
I have been cutting my hair with a pr of these scissors for over 40 years. Nothing else seems to do the trick as well as these they are sharp and accurate. The folding mechnaism is beautifully made, and a nice leather carry pouch makes them so portable. But beware of getting them sharpened at the wrong place. For the first 20 years I owned my first scissors, I had them sharpened every 3-4 years at a reliable store in the Boston area, but when I moved to Florida, I unfortunately used the wrong sharpening service. The scissors still work, but aren't the same. Luckily, after searching the web, I located Garrett Wade and the same EXACT scissors. Hooray, I feel secure again with these trusted little scissors in my closet. They are perfect for my use.

Favourite scissors
Reviewed By:  Pat Lowe (Broome, Western Australia) 
I looked for these scissors for years. They are so compact and sharp and such good quality, they are one of my favorite possessions. You just have to be careful not to try to board a plane with them in your pocket: it would be sad to lose them.

Folding Scissors

Four Inch Scissors in a Navy leather case: You probably don't think of this as a tool, but I have had a pair of these very special scissors for over 40 years. I bought me and my sister a pair in San Francisco. Hers were stolen going through airport 'security' and she was devastated. I looked on my scissors to see if anything was printed on them to see if we could find them again, went to the internet and they brought up Garrett Wade. My sister found those same scissors on your site. We were both so excited as we have used them through the years for cutting cuticles, paper, plastic connections on price tags, haircuts, too long shoelaces, tags off of shirts that were scratching us, hair tangles on cats, eyebrow trims for my husband, scratching itches and just taking them out because they feel so good in your hand and now I have my granddaughters begging to use the special little scissors for their craft things. They are always there for me and as much as people always want to 'borrow' them, I don't let them out of my sight. They are like jewelry and travel in my purse at all times. When my sister ordered a pair from you a couple of months ago, I couldn't stand it and I, too, ordered another pair. We women do that, if we fear we will never find them again. So now I have my new ones in the Navy case in my purse and my original ones are in a special place at home. Silly sounding, but these are the best made and most beautiful scissors we both have ever seen. Almost magical in their perfection and amazing strength. I know it doesn't sound like much, but these little scissors are the most beautifully made instruments you could ever have the honor to own. Everyone wants our scissors. Thank you so very much for having them for us. You have some amazing tools and even in this economy, I am tempted to order from you again. Beautiful tools which I don't even know what they are for, but they are ma
