Whiteley Reviews

Will never purchase again

I purchased my 4th pair of Whiteley from their site and I ll never be buying again I can t complain about past purchases as they ve been perfect but the kitchen scissors I received were not as expected They were loose in the box the blades were marked and tarnished on the points there s been a wrong size screwdriver used and took a chunk out of the the flat head channel but worst of all they looked as though they have been used not what I expected I contacted customer service and I got a very patronising response stating that due to the craftsmanship they can not guarantee a perfect cosmetic finish so I replied to that then got another response saying it was meant to be educational Most people will understand that anything that is hand crafted will have variations in each individual item but there s a difference between that than something that looks used has stains on the blades tarnished on the tips and a chunk out of the screw I will go elsewhere from now on

We ordered a set of 3 scissors on the

We ordered a set of 3 scissors on the 19th of December 2024 eventually 2 scissors arrived but not the third pair that we had paid for when we contacted them they said that they were to follow after that they have not responded to repeated emails and we still do not have the goods that we paid for It would appear that we will have to go to ths small claims court Do NOT use this company

The most beautiful

The most beautiful well made scissors I have ever used Amazing company history and love the option to personalize with lasering too really unique

Stunning Professional Chef s Knives

My wife bought me a set of the Damascus steel professional chef s knives They come in a beautiful heavy duty leather roll - the knives are an absolute work of art They were delivered with a free cleaver too I am very very impressed with the quality and usability - I strongly recommend them

One of the best scissors in the WORLD

If you want the best of the best this company meets that expectation Everyone of their scissors is a work of art You can literally feel the difference between these immaculate pieces compared to all the other junk being produced today Everyone who has handled these scissors has commented on them being different to anything else they have handled The cutting action is something that just can t be replicated The company is super old full of tradition and is worth supporting They have made scissors for the Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria that should say enough If you can afford their EXO range you won t be disappointed I guarantee you these will be one of the best products you will ever buy in your life Those EXOs can cut through military vests All of their products are well worth their expense What you pay upfront now will provide you with years of joy and service that outweighs the cost you will pay for multiple cheaper scissors Support manufacturers that do their job right I am not affiliated but it is super rare to find good strong companies worth supporting in today s day and age Keep them alive and reward yourself or a friend I would be keen to try their genuine Damascus knives next Thank you William Whiteley - John Hanna

Highly recommend We ll worth the money

I have bought many pairs of William Whiteley scissors as presents The kitchen scissors have been very popular as wedding presents with the wedding date lasted onto them Graduation presents for a couple of Sheffield students suitably inscribed were very well received Both students have since bought further pairs for themselves I bought a pair of garden scissors as a moving in present for a friend they were so good that my latest purchase is a pair for myself An added bonus was the free gift bagBTW we have grandads William Whiteley pinking shears probably at least 60 years old and still going strong

Superb Service

Superb Service The expensive scissors I ordered for my granddaughter were lost in delivery process This company tried to find out what had happened with DPD the delivery company but it seemed that this would take ages so they immediately sent out another pair My granddaughter has received these an says they are fantastic and a joy to use Would go to them every time now as it is rare to get such brilliant customer service nowadays I can t praise them enough - I was expecting untold hassle Perhaps they could run the country for us

Outdoor gardening scissors beyond pleased

Last year I bought gardening scissors as a birthday present for a friend They were very pleased with them and so was I when I tried them out When asked what I wanted for Xmas I asked for a pair myself After a month of use I am beyond pleased They cut hard flower stems with ease are more controllable than my kitchen scissors when cutting herbs and are comfortable to use The design They are worth every penny
