The pivot bosses and the cutting surfaces are adapted for removal of material therefrom to permit resharpening of the offset shears while maintaining the effect of the cutting surfaces 70', 72'. The shanks of the blade members 12', 14' are also provided with wire cutting means 88', 90', preferably a pinch cutter capable of to being a stop for limiting rotation of the first and second blade members 12', 14'. Also provided is an improved handle configuration with toggle means providing greater cutting power. <IMAGE> |
