Cutting Edge Parramore Diamond Shear
Details
These terrific diamond shears, designed in collaboration with lampworking wizard Roger Parramore, are for lamp workers doing larger pieces at the torch. They’re short and compact, and open fast!
Cutting Edge Tools - A Cut above The Rest
Our shears look different because they are different.
It’s all in the details and Jeff Lindsay is serious about the details.
Our Special Blades Are Cut With Water
It took a lot of research and experimentation. This is how Jeff chose D2 steel as the material for his shear blades. D2 steel is rust-resistant, wear-resistant and hard to the thinnest edge. D2 is so hard that our blades are cut with a computer numerical control (CNC) water jet machine.
On The Edge
After we have beveled our blades on a mill, we heat treat them to their final hardness. Lastly, we hand grind a double-bevel along the cutting edge. This hand work takes time and requires real skill, but it produces a superbly sharp edge.
Oh, Those Beautiful Welds!
We fix handles to blades with a generous bead of silicon bronze. Lovely to look at and practical, our handles simply do not break! Oh, and note the no-snag, stainless button head cap screw and the ever-tight nut.
