Sheep Shears, 12-Inch — Double-Bow Wool & Topiary Shears (Red)
These traditional double-bow shears are designed for the demanding tasks of sheep shearing and dagging. The 12-inch frame provides the necessary leverage and control, while the spring action of the bow reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use. The entire tool is forged from steel for durability.
The 5.5-inch blades are ground to a sharp edge for clean, decisive cuts on wool. A tough, red polymer coating provides grip and makes the tool highly visible if dropped in a field or pen. As a fully autoclavable instrument, it meets the stringent hygiene requirements for veterinary and livestock management.
Ideal for shearing small flocks of sheep by hand, trimming hooves (dagging), shaping garden topiary, and maintaining lawn edges.
