Winter Break - my winter break is coming up, and the last day for sending out orders this year is December 19. From December 20 to January 13 I will be on winter break. Orders coming in during this time will be sent off after my return.

Thank you for a wonderful year 2024! I hope you'll have a lovely time in the last bit of this year, with some days off to relax and not too much stress - and of course a good start in a happy new year!

Shears were in use throughout the Middle Ages and found at many different sites. One of the finds in Germany is from Rostock Mühlendamm, Fundplatz 473 (dated to c 1260/80). These shears were modeled after the Rostock find, which has a rather common and classical form. The blades have rounded tips, there are decorative shapings at the junction of handle and blade, and the bow has a looped top shape.

The shears are c 13.5 cm long. Just like the medieval originals, they are forged from iron for the bow and outer part of the blades, and steel for the cutting edge of the blades. They are completely hand-made in Germany. A significant slant of the blades makes them very good at cutting and suitable to cut textiles.
