Kretzer Solingen Spirale Classic 113018 Embroidery Scissors 18 cm Black

Professional appliqué, tapestry, and pile-trimming shears (Duckbill shears). These heavy-duty drop-forged all-steel scissors are engineered for trimming fabric appliqués, leveling carpet pile, finishing machine embroidery, and detailing handwoven tapestries or gobelins directly on flat work surfaces.

Their standout feature is the broad, spade-shaped duckbill blade that slides smoothly between textile layers, shielding and isolating the delicate base weave or tapestry warp from accidental cuts while cleanly trimming away appliqué edges, backing, or protruding wool loops. The raised offset handle design keeps the user's hand elevated comfortably above the work surface, ensuring flat blade tracking and smooth maneuverability across the material. Solid drop-forged carbon steel (Compact-Steel) with classic precision grinding (Classic-Cut) delivers reliable, crisp cutting pressure right to the tips. The ergonomic all-steel handles (Stabil-Plus) feature an enlarged lower loop for multiple fingers and are coated in a durable black non-slip PVC finish, providing enhanced leverage, excellent comfort, and insulation against metal chill. The precision screw joint ensures stable blade tension and durable mechanical performance.

These Kretzer scissors are ideal for embroidery studios, tailoring ateliers, rug hooking, tufting, tapestry weaving, gobelin restoration, and upholstery workshops.
