I've looked online and cannot find "wallpaper scissors"
Did find a manufacturer who takes minimum order of 6k? What's the brand of your scissors? Scissors make the cut WalWorks, a division of Zinsser Co., has introduced ComfortGrip Scissors, a new line developed specifically for use on wallcovering, window treatments, upholstery, fabric and craft products. The scissors, crafted from the finest precision steel, are keenly honed to handle the most delicate wallpaper. The substantial blades and adjustable tension also make them ideal for use on thick commercial vinyl and textile wallcoverings, string and grass cloth wallcoverings, heavy-weight upholstery materials including leather, canvas and burlap, and all decorator fabrics. ComfortGrip Scissors are uniquely crafted with slip-resistant cushioned grips and ambidextrous handles with extra-large finger loops. They are available in two blade sizes — 9.5" and 11" — with design features specifically styled for wallpaper and fabric projects. (732) 469-8100 www.walworks.com |
My scissors are off limit for DH and not to be touched at all.

A pad lock through the finger holes will prevent scissors from opening, Can't open can't cut. carry key on car keys which are always in my pocket. Spare key hidden. Fabric only.

My mother took a class on upholstery and purchased their recommended upholstery scissors. She has since passed away and as the only daughter they came to me. I use them for cutting batting off the roll and for trimming excess batting and fabric from quilts after I have finished quilting them. They are large enough to handle the job easily and hold a sharp edge.
