The Good

  • A very good price for a Throatless Shear (compared to the Beverly b1 or b2)
  • Nice Smooth Cuts (16ga mild - 20 Stainless)
  • Ease of Use (Cuts like a hot knife through butter)
  • A great starter Shear until you can afford the more coveted Beverly Shear

The Bad

  • This product took just over 6 weeks to arrive! (WAY too long, even with free shipping)
  • There is too much side-to-side play in the handle.
  • The manual that ships with it is incomplete and insufficient.
  • My Thoughts
    This is a great tool for its price. It does seem like a very cheaply made tool but it can be slightly modified to serve very well in any armoury. I would recommend this tool to anyone looking for a throatless shear.
