The Scissor Boutique at FDM

Expert Advice

Over many years, we have developed an extensive understanding of scissors, including the materials from which they are made, their edge designs, construction, handling characteristics and intended applications.

We also consider the person using them.

Your hand, your training, your technique, the work you carry out, the textures you cut and the results you want to achieve all matter when choosing the right scissor.

Our role is to bring these factors together and help you find the tool that works for you.

It isn’t necessarily about spending more money. It is about spending your money wisely and choosing correctly.

Quality Control

We carefully select every scissor we offer for its quality, performance and value. We take great pride in sourcing some of the very best scissors available and helping you find the right tool for the work you do.

The right scissor for you

Using professional tools every day can put considerable demands on your hands and wrists.

The design and features of a scissor can make a significant difference to comfort, handling and the way you work. Choosing a more suitable handle design, balance or specialist feature may help you work more comfortably and efficiently.

If you experience discomfort or simply feel that your scissors are not working as comfortably as they could, talk to us.

A consultation can sometimes make a surprisingly big difference without requiring you to spend a fortune. Sometimes all that is needed is to look at your tools and working methods from a different perspective.

We look at you as an individual — how you work, what you cut, your technique, your preferences and your expectations — so we can help you choose scissors that are genuinely suited to you.
