These Medieval Shears are hand forged from solid iron, giving a simple and highly effective cutting tool design used in the medieval period. Crafted as a single piece, they are sturdy, durable and built to last, with a natural forged finish which helps in resisting rust and surface wear over time. As with all iron material tools, they should be kept dry and away from moisture.
Unlike modern scissors, these shears work using a spring-action mechanism rather than a pivot joint. Pressure applied by the hand closes the blades, while releasing the grip helps the natural spring tension to reopen them automatically and easily. This design makes the tool more reliable and suitable for cutting tasks.
Historically, Medieval Shears were used across Europe in households and workshops. These people relied on this cutting tool for trimming cloth, cutting thread, leather and for detailed crafting. Their simple design makes them easy to forge , maintain and even use.
These Hand-Forged Medieval Shears have pointed blades that help in precise cutting, and the design also gives proper control during use. Unlike later Pivot Scissors, this spring-style construction was preferred for its durability and easy use.
CARE INSTRUTIONS:
- Keep away from moisture
- Wipe after use
