^ NiCE My shop scissors are ALL pitiful. I will surely sign up for a pair of these (and I guess a scythe stone).

Boy those look like a must have! The credit card cut did it for me. When yopu cut the aluminum wire, did it leave a burr in the scissors?

Nope--no burr! And they go through credit card plastic like it's paper. It was actually the easiest of the various things I cut for the video, but I figure it's something plenty of folks have probably struggled through using stamped office scissors, so they'd know what an easy time the Humboldt shears had of it.

I sure could have used these this weekend to remove summer growth in the garden beds. Hostas had some tough stocks. May have to get two, one for the house and one for outside, just have to remember not to let my wife use them, they might end up in her sewing basket.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

As an update we'll be moving ahead with these very shortly.

 

[woodysone]

@FortyTwoBlades , Thanks for the update, if I get these and want another pair for the garage will you have any extras? Thanks martin

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Oh yes, we'll be getting quite a few of them.

 

[woodysone]

Great! and my wife's sewing shears Thank You

 

[Dirtbiker]

Where are we at on delivery of the shears?

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

They're currently paid for and in production. I approved the etch on them last week.

 

[woodysone]

Very much looking forward to these! I don't believe I can stop at one pair if they live up to the proto type.

 

[woodysone]

@FortyTwoBlades X-mas is comming how are the shears comming? Thanks

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

They're coming along! Should be getting out most of the pre-orders over the weekend and finishing out the rest early this week.

 

[woodysone]

Boy, this is great news! Looking forward to seeing if they live up to the hype, if so hopefully you have a couple of pairs that will be available for those hard to shop for?

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Yes, the first production run was 500x units, so we have plenty of 'em!

 

[woodysone]

Boy, that was a big investment! But you have shown that you know what you are doing @FortyTwoBlades, thanks for the information.

Color me impressed. I wasnt expecting these to happen nearly that fast. Looking forward to the first pair and weighing a couple more pairs in my head right now.

 

[RayseM]

Thanks.

@FortyTwoBlades hope these are all you say they are because just ordered another pair. Any chance of getting some help on shipping, or maybe a stone to keep them sharp?

I can combine shipping with the earlier order, certainly.
