03:31 you showed a picture of my Granddad & my Dad 😅 Both Frank Turton. My Dad (Who’s 18 in this picture, looks about 46 🤣) retired in 2020 when Covid hit the UK. It was surreal to see my family on this video. I bought the rights to that photo a few years back & I had it printed on A3 to give to my Dad for his birthday.

What are you people on about? The description for the Turton model on their own website says, "The Turton is a true all-round pair of scissors. With serrated blades, for extra efficient cutting and grip. A bottle/twist-cap opener and nut cracker complete this classic piece of kitchen art." The details mention: Type: Kitchen scissors Use: Cutting packaging, preparing food, allround. These are legitimate purposes and he is not misusing them, even if the tests are a little clumsy.
THAT ISN"T HOW YOU USE KITCHEN SHEERS! You use them to cut chiken joints sinew butchers twin, herbs and packaging you do NOT use them to destroy innocent mellons and you DO NOT USE THEM ON ACIDIC THINGS!
@@jameskirk1331 CIA graduate here (and an airline pilot, if that counts for anything). You certainly can use them to cut acidic foods. The Turtons are stainless steel and relatively resistant to acid. But even if they were high carbon steel they could safely be used with acidic products. Just rinse them thoroughly after use and wash them as needed with warm soapy water and dry them before putting them away.
@@omniryx1 absolutly true for knives(and I will admit that I thought they were high carbon steel) BUT, with kitchen sheers there is risk that juices get caught in the joint or around the screw in areas that are VERY hard or impossible to clean and cause rust over time. This isn't really a risk with knives(as I certainly use high carbon knives in my kitchen as often as not) but I have seen it happen to kitchen sheers.
Hello Pam, I wanted to send some better photos of the issue with the shears. The first four are the bad side, and the fifth is the good side as comparison. It is very easy to see the missing edge of the blade spine. Not only is this an aesthetic defect, it would be a concern for the strength of the blade. It really is important that you understand this was just one purchase we made for Ernest Wrights Shears, but they were all purchased to be heirlooms. Because of this point, it is truly disappointing that these are not what we expected. Also, please express these concerns to the people in quality control. It really has affected my earlier impressions of the brand. Have a nice weekend,
Thank you for your patience while I heard back from Neil and Paul. They have both asked how the scissors cut, as you have not mentioned that at all. They both understand that on the outside blade there is an inconsistent grinding line, but these ones passed quality control because they do not see that as a defect. It is handmade and each and every pair will have it’s own look and feel. This does not and will not affect the cutting action of the scissor. This pair is unique to you, but as you are not happy with the aesthetics of your scissors, we can offer you a replacement pair, the next batch of which should be ready within the next 2 weeks, or we can offer you a refund. Please let me know how you would like to proceed, then I will let you know how you can return yours. Take care and have a good week. With kind regards, Pam Addy Handmade Scissors Ltd 58 Broad Lane, Sheffield S1 4BT, United Kingdom
Well, they were not meant rto cut food. That's what knives are for. These are for general use around the kitchen. Cutting those stupid clamshell or naylon packs, and anything else than food. Maybe a bit use on food, but not as demonstrated here and defenately not as much..
Since waiting four days to have my request for a return RMA was replied to with questions about "why" i was unhappy and "how do they cut", it was not in my interest to continue more back and forth. I now questioned whether the return would be an issue once I spent another $50 to return them to England, and wait another month or more for the refund. I decided to right off the wasted money completely. The way in which my original request for a refund was handled, I have no further interest in Ernest Wright. My impression of the brand has been irepreprably diminished since Ernest Wright does not consider this defect a defect! Ernest Wright could have resolved this issue simply by sending me an RMA, and a prepaid return label. That was not how customer service treated me.

5:02 wow either these scissors are really badly made or your grip is complete crap but there is no way in the world you could use scissors with your thumb in this position for more than 3 minutes a day without getting a tendinitis... i was looking to buy a pair but good scissors should have your hand rested and not in complete contraction like that to use them

Ernest Wright scissors and shears have a lifetime guarantee. If you're not happy with them, send them back and they'll adjust them if necessary.

Is that really how they're meant to be used?
NO!
Seriously.. I'm having a panic attack over here watching him cut cucumbers with a beautiful piece of art like that.
@@drankurbaruah Thank the god's somebody else said something.
I’m cringing over here
@@tony3th Right and here I am like... Why did he even buy these? They make paper, cloth leather and craft scissors! He could have bought them!
