History of the Turtons Scissors
Frank Turton was a master cutler who owned his own business called Frank Turton Scissors ltd. in Sheffield.

He worked for Frank Turton for many years until the...

Sadly, the interim manager told me newsof Nick Wright’s recent passing. I offered my condolences for their loss and decided to keep...
Ernest Wright Cheats Death
Mercifully, in late 2018 Ernest Wright was rescued from the fate of so many other legacy cutlery makers in Sheffield. Two investors, Jan Bart and Paul Jacobs, who were big fans of Ernest Wright’s scissors heard the sad news and swooped in to rescue the company’s name from extinction. Paul Jacobs in particular is a stand up guy who loves quality. Why? Simple. He drives at Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series (see my article on Land Cruisers). Its the most durable vehicle on earth. Here’s a pic of the...
