Product Information

Full details

The Clauss Titanium Bonded Bent Shears are designed for crafters, hobbyists, and professionals who require a durable, high-precision cutting tool for heavy-duty tasks. The core benefit of these shears is the proprietary Titanium Bonded blade technology, which offers three times the hardness of stainless steel for long-lasting edge retention. While these shears excel at cutting through various fabrics and materials, users should note that they are optimized for specific industrial and craft applications and may require periodic tension adjustment to maintain peak performance.

FAQs

Are these shears suitable for left-handed users?

These shears feature a neutral ergonomic design, though the blade alignment is standard. Most left-handed users find them comfortable due to the large finger bows.

Can I use these to cut wire?

No. These are precision craft shears. Cutting wire will chip or dull the titanium-bonded edge.

How often should I adjust the tension?

Adjust the tension whenever you switch between vastly different materials, or if you feel the cutting action becoming loose or stiff.

Are the handles made of metal?

The handles are made of high-quality, durable composite materials designed to be lightweight and ergonomic.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

No. Never put these shears in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle material and corrode the pivot screw.

Troubleshooting

Blades feel stiff when opening or closing

Loosen the tension screw slightly and apply a tiny drop of high-quality machine oil to the pivot point.

Material is bunching or folding between the blades

Tighten the central tension screw to ensure the two blades maintain firm contact with each other throughout the cutting stroke.

Visible residue on the blades

Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to remove adhesive or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher durability than traditional stainless steel blades
  • Ergonomic handles designed for comfort during heavy use
  • Blades resist adhesive residue buildup
  • Fully adjustable tension for precision control
  • Extremely lightweight design (0.06 pounds)

Cons

  • Requires periodic maintenance of the tension screw
  • Not intended for cutting high-tensile metal wire or extremely thick industrial materials
  • Size may feel bulky for users with very small hands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Clauss Titanium Bonded Shears, proper setup and maintenance are essential:

  1. Tension Adjustment: Test the shears on a scrap piece of fabric. If the material folds rather than cuts, use a screwdriver to slightly tighten the central tension screw. If the blades feel too stiff to close easily, loosen the screw until the action is smooth.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the blades with a dry, lint-free cloth after every use. If adhesive residue builds up, use a mild solvent on a cloth, taking care not to submerge the pivot point.
  3. Storage: Keep the shears in a dry environment. While the titanium bonding is corrosion-resistant, storing them in a damp area can eventually affect the pivot point and the longevity of the handle material.
  4. Sharpening: Avoid using standard knife sharpeners on these blades, as they may compromise the titanium bond. Use dedicated shear sharpening services if the edge dulls significantly after years of heavy use.
