Humboldt Spear Point Utility Shears

A good set of utility shears are difficult to find these days. Stop getting yelled at for stealing the fabric scissors and use these instead!

Named for the "red devil" squid of the Humboldt current and its fearsome bite, the Humboldt shears are an intimidating, yet nimble, set of forged utility shears for cutting all manner of materials. Featuring a distinctive precision spear point, the Humboldt shears are able to pierce through many materials to start an incision in the body of the target rather than cutting in from its edge. This also makes the tip more precise for careful cuts and turning tight curves.

Based off of heavy-duty shears commonly used in the roofing trade for cutting asphalt shingles, flashing, and other materials that would cause common store-bought scissors to bend apart or break, these shears are a whopping 1/4" thick at the spine for unyielding rigidity, while the ergonomic integral finger loop is generously sized to fit all four fingers for exceptional comfort when making cuts in resistant material.

A hex headed pivot bolt makes tension adjustment a breeze compared to common flathead screw construction. The high carbon steel of these shears has purposely been left un-plated so that they may develop an attractive grey patina with age and use, much like antique pairs. These are truly an heirloom set of shears you can be proud to wield. Made with pride in the USA!

Bear Shears

These scissors are superb. They are sharp and tight enough to nip threads and stout enough to fight a bear with. Money well spent

Great Shears

Love the sheers. A quality tool for a good price. Only thing was that one of the blades had a VERY small nick in the edge in about the middle of the blade. I can feel the resistance from it even after using a very fine file to remove the burr. Other than that, they arre perfect.

Shears are freaking awesome

These things are amazing! Super sharp and while I thought the size would be an issue, they are perfect for pretty much anything including small detail cutting! Just awesome!

Valuable tool

If you need to split a chicken down the middle these don’t think twice about the task. They hold their edge well. I have used mine daily for 3 years and they have only needed to touch up and polish the edge once so far. Highly recommended
