Below you will find some of the terminology of the features and techniques used to manufacture ACME, Clauss, and Westcott scissors. These high quality characteristics make our scissors the best scissors you can buy.
Precision Ground
Acme uses knowledge, skills and methods developed since 1869, combined
with the latest equipment available to precision grind the various
surfaces on its scissors and shears to exacting standards.
Hot Forged
Many manufacturers have abandoned hot-forged steel for less expensive
processes. Shears and scissors made from low grade steel, which is
stamped, cast, or cold-forged Into shape, usually mean a less reliable
product.Rods or strips of steel are heated in a furnace, then forged in a drop hammer
into the desired shape. This is an expensive process, but it is recognized
as the best method to produce quality tools.
Bows
The rings on shears or scissors which you put your fingers through. They
help you grip the tools, open and close them with one hand, and should be
comfortable and form-fitting. Our bows are especially designed for each
style of scissors and tools to make them best-suited to your needs.
Blades
The art of assembling two blades and making them cut their full length
properly is one of the most difficult to master, and it is this art that
immediately distinguishes our scissors over others. Our scissors and cutting tools provide a long,
smooth uniform cut, snug yet effortless, all the way to the tips.
Run
The "run" is the "feel" you get when you cut with a pair of scissors or
shears. A "good run" gives you an even, clean cut for the full length of the
blade without hesitation or roughness. We fine tune the run for our shears and scissors
to give you the best performance and feel available.
Certified Double-Plated
Double-plated hot-forged tools using nickel for luster and chrome for
durability, ensuring you a product that is rust and stain resistant. Other
companies often only nickel plate their scissor blades.
Our process costs us more, but ensures you a
product with maximum service life.
High Carbon Cutlery Grade Steel
Quality tools start with quality steel. The more carbon in the steel, the
longer the life of the tool.
