A gift for the workshop expert
Trusted by professionals like the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers’ (AMUSF) Ray Clarke, BBC One Money for Nothing’s Simion Hawtin-Smith and Ollie Clueit, our 8” PTFE-coated Workmaster “short cut” shears are a must-have for material specialists.
Built for strength and accuracy, their short blades and extended handles provide better leverage for tackling tough materials, ideal for dads into upholstery, heavy fabric work, and other industrial DIY tasks.
They glide through fabric, rubber, plastic, and even thin sheet metal with ease and controlled cuts, especially when trimming excess material after tacking or when working in tight spaces. As true workhorses built for years of high-performance cutting, their high-durability carbon steel construction ensures long-lasting performance in the workshop, whether your dad’s a home crafter or a professional.
A gift for the accomplished angler
Got a dad that likes to spend his Sundays by the water? Our fishing kit is a great accompaniment to any fishing tackle box, featuring 6” curved fishing foreceps, 4” fishing braid scissors and fishing line clippers.
Our foreceps are ideal for extracting hooks with their serrated blades and locking handles, while our fishing scissors feature extra sharp points and blades for dyneema fibres and superlines. Our fishing line clippers can be used as a hook eye cleaner.
It all comes packaged in our signature gift box, for an extra special touch.

Is your dad a keen leather-crafter? Let him create leather masterpieces in comfort and style with our 8” PTFE-coated leather scissors, suitable for cutting all kinds of tough materials including full and half grain leather, nubuck, suede, synthetic and faux leather, vinyl, and heavy-duty fabrics.
With a 2.8” cut length, the long handle shanks and offset handle bows provide extra leverage, while the serrated blade secures a firm grip, delivering a precise, powerful cut every time. Meanwhile, the PTFE coating provides a smooth, non-stick surface that prevents adhesives, glues, and materials from building up on the blade, keeping the shears reliable for a lifetime of use.
Whether your dad is into leather tooling, bag making, shoe crafting, saddlery or sporran making, our scissors are made for professionals and hobbyists alike who need strength and reliability in their work. From one traditional craft to another, we’re proud to support the makers who are keeping artisanal skills alive in the UK and beyond.
Staying on with the leather theme, our short leather apron is the perfect addition to any workshop. Just like most of our scissors, it can be personalised with an engraving of your choice, helping you gift a unique Father’s Day present.
