The 250 Year-old Scissor Gets an Upgrade - Yanko Design

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/whiteley1760/introducing-exo-the-next-generation-scissor

Here at YD, we focus on the innovative, but every now and then nosotros come back to the classics. The EXO scissors still, are a healthy combination of both.

Coming from the oldest scissor manufacturer in the western world, and from the birthplace of Stainless Steel itself, the EXO scissors combine the heritage of the blades along with the latest manufacturing methods to produce something that'southward a classic alloy of sometime and new. The EXO scissors continue to celebrate the pattern of the tailor's shears, with their highly ergonomic handles and their 6 part design. What's new notwithstanding, is the apply of Rapid Prototyping, CNC Machining, and Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Engraving, along with the traditional methods, taking something that was craftsman-made always since the times of the industrial revolution, and bringing to it the accurateness one expects from CAD modeling and CNC machining. The upshot? A claim that the EXO scissors are the most comfortable all-metal scissors yous'll ever own… and that's coming from a visitor that has been making scissors since the 1760s!

Each scissor comes made to perfection in surgical-form stainless steel from Sheffield, the birthplace of the alloy. The scissors tin can fifty-fifty be custom laser engraved for a personal affect. Available in iii variants, the archetype Silver (made from stainless steel with a striking matte finish), a futuristic Black (made with a delightful matte finish and a Teflon coated non-stick surface), and a majestic Gilded (with a vapor-deposited ceramic coating that's more than than twice as hard as the steel itself), the EXO may look old school, but that's only because the scissor design has seen constant refinement over the past 250 years! What you're looking at is probably the best modern iteration of the legacy metallic scissor then far!

We invited his staff to test our prototypes in their cut room, and the feedback was unanimously positive; non only do EXO cut through fabric beautifully, but their lighter pattern and comfortable handles meant that they could use them all day with ease.
