Barco Alligator Pruning Shears No. 101

Pretty cool compound joint shears. Fairly lightweight, made of stamped steel, about 12.5″ long. I don’t know what that badge attached to the center joint is for, it…

W. Schollhorn Bernard 25-8 Shears

Really nice, very heavy duty  shears. This one seems to have an issue with its spring, I think I might just need to slip it back into place….

H.K. Porter 890H Shears

Someone wore away part of the finish on the handle with their unrelenting shearing. And the blade is perfect. A testament to good craftsmanship.

Italian Shears

Don’t know much about these. I have seen that lots of companies made similar, or identical versions. I think they’re really nice.

Seymour Smith “Snap-Cut” Pruners

I have four of these, actually, one has a broken spring. This site has some nice information about them.
