Originally founded in 1952 under the
name Expert Cutlery, this growing
manufacturer of scissors and shears
initially employed five men who turned
out approximately 600 pair of shears per
week. About 28 different styles of shears
were manufactured, produced by large
grinding wheels with a gas-heated lead
pot used for the heat-treating process.
The Expert Cutlery name was changed to
Heritage Cutlery in 1978. The company
continued to grow and invest in state
of the art equipment, such as CNC
(computer numerical control) machine
grinders and electronically controlled salt
furnaces for heat-treating.
In September 2007, Heritage Cutlery
was acquired by and began operating
under the name Klein Cutlery, LLC. Klein
Cutlery is an affiliate of Klein Tools, Inc.,
a leading manufacturer of hand tools and
occupational equipment for professional
tradesman.
The Company has not only manufactured
the same high quality barber shears since
1952, but has grown to become the
largest U.S. manufacturer of hot-forged
scissors and shears for a wide variety of
markets including textiles, sewing, poultry,
electronics, fiber optics and pet grooming.
