PSS. How to generate a climbing loop through control of the casting stroke is left as a (considerable) exercise to the reader.

Re: HELP NEEDED
Thanks, Walter. I've actually found those when looking, but the straight version is sold out both and that's the one I prefer.

Re: HELP NEEDED
Hi Lars, not a direct answer to your question, but have you tried sharpening the cutting edge with a piece of TIG welding electrode. If the cutting edges aren't too damages from cutting wires etc., it really makes a difference.
Re: HELP NEEDED
Did you try the Wolff scissors?

They look the same, but who knows about quality.

Carlz, thank you very much. They look exactly the same. I’ll try and order a pair and hope they’re up to it!

Re: HELP NEEDED
I actually have a new plan. One that either requires help from someone with knowledge and experience or learning a few, new skills. I'll try taking a pair of Renomed sciccors, cut a little off one handle and then try brazing it back together.
Any advice would be appreciated :-).

Re: HELP NEEDED
Band aid's, Savlon, and a swear jar!
.... and I think I would be wary of getting excess heat to the blade from the brazing in such a small amount of material, or you could screw up the temper of the blades.
Good luck I hope it goes well!
