Tullen Utility Shears?

[K Williams]

Does anyone know if the Tullen Utility Shears/Scissors are still being made? If they aren't, what shears do you recommend. I've had my Tullen shears for over 10 years. Bought it from Cutlery Shoppe. They are now starting to get dull.

you should be able to sharpen them...scissors are pretty easy

If those come apart they can be sharpened. If you replace them? Get a quality Shear that can be taken apart.
What do you use these for mostly? Food? leather? etc?
Then I may be able to suggest a brand for you to purchase.

Leather, denim, canvas, cutting up old credit cards, etc. They do not come apart.

I will get the model number for you tomorrow when I am back at my store/shop.

K Williams,
Here is a Game shear from Gerber that I sell and use myself at home. I have one pair for all of the things you mentioned and one for use in the kitchen.

These are a inexpensive shear that will handle all of those chores and can be sharpened. http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-46001-Take-A-Part-8-Inch-Shear/dp/B0002TXRV8

That game shear looks pretty good. I have Trauma Shears that my Vet gave me to cut a cast of my dog. They have good leverage and are pretty cheap and rugged. County Comm seems to have them pretty cheap. The ones I have seem to have like little serrations on them and I have never been able to sharpen them, but they still work to cut heavy stuff like blister packs.
