Iron snips D:11cm

The rustic overtone of this hand-forged pair of snippers gives them a simplistic edge, but the making is anything but. They are made up of one beautifully honed piece that curves to make the flexible cutting action and to sit comfortably in your hand. The blades show hammer marks and firing scars made during the traditional and age-old process. Not only that, they snip well and are great for beadwork, sewing and embroidery and they look fabulously bucolic hanging up for all to see in a craft area. Supplier Info: This Moradabad-based supplier employs just over twenty hard working men and women. Fifteen people are based in the factory ten are sub-contractors. All are provided with regular medical check ups, bonuses and loans when necessary. The company supports charities and celebrate festivals at work where they distribute sweets to employees and take part in celebratory flag-hoisting. Their current factory has a rain water harvesting facility, but they are moving to a new and bigger factory soon which will provide even better working conditions for their employees. They hope to continue to expand the business in the future which they are proud to say is family-run. Why we love this product!
