Dante Diamond Shear

Glass artist extraordinaire Dante Marioni had a favorite pair of shears so cracked, corroded and welded-over we called them "Frankenshears." When they finally gave out, he called Jeff and together they worked up a design that met Dante’s needs. These are those shears—like Dante’s old favorites, but with improvements. Quick to open, and high capacity; they’re light in weight with a shear geometry that’s especially good for small hands. These are by far our most popular shears, great for everyone from beginning students to seasoned pros like Dante.

Big Diamond Shear (a.k.a. Big Combo Shear)

Our Big Diamond Shear has the same great cut and quick action as our Dante Diamond, but with more capacity. With the Big Diamond you can easily grab a one inch blowpipe or cut a two inch column of glass. They have thicker blades that won’t flex. Because Jeff incorporated slots into their profile, they’re lighter. But it’s okay if you like our Big Diamonds just because they look really cool!
