I have the exact same model for about 2 years (there is also a slightly bigger model). They are compact, lightweight, affordable and work great for simple tasks like you showed in this video.

Those Knipex shears look very similar to a pair of Wiss G-21 shears I've had around forever, which are very handy.

[@FreedomFox1]

Those Knipex look great for pruning tomatoes. The serrations might be harder to keep clean, but otherwise they look perfect.

[@TheXJRMAN]

Fiskars lineup can't really be improved, Arthritis foundation design input, rubberised grips, Sandvik steel and replaceable parts. Surprised you've not pitched them up here.

[@zeinfo9346]

Sterling Black Panthers! They have taken over the mining industry in Australia.

[@lastbesttool]

Thanks for the lead. I’ll keep an eye out for them.

[@heybabycometobutthead]

They cut through rocks?

[@NWGR]

I've looked into those; they're hard to find in the states.

[@ozcampnhuntdan7858]

Second that, the vamps are awesome !

[@awges]

@@heybabycometobuttheadmining industry in Australia refers to the unbelievably huge mining operations we have in the west of the country where people from all different trades fly out for 6 months to work on building and maintenance of all operations on mines whether it be electrical plumbing or anything you can think of

[@chrisfyfe9212]

There is also a version. With an angled cutting edge , very handy ! I use them in places where they have hissy if you use a knife ( Schools being a case on point !).

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Doc
Thank you for another Great Video 👍

[@rjskum688]

This will go great with my Knipex spatula set!

[@RLSteffler]

A year ago I was looking at these types of shears, was between Felco and ARS and went for the ARS, a Japanese brand that had amazing reviews. But when I got them I realised they had stopped making them in Japan, mine being made in Vietnam I believe. I sent them back since the similarly priced Felcos were made in Italy, but I never ended up getting them 🤷‍♂️

[@NWGR]

Thanks Doc. Added a pair to my wishlist.

[@benjaminjwilson6694]

That wiss is strong, I cut steam hose with a pair of those. Well, 90% of a steam hose. A guy brought me a hacksaw by that point. Still impressive.

[@Tools_and_Guitars]

Hey Doc, you should also check out NWS combination scissors; spring loaded w/ adjustable pivot. Think you'll like them.

[@adjutant]

The NWS combination scissors have a nice soft and grippy comfort handle and are actually made in Germany. I'm surprised to see that Knipex version cost more for seemingly less. If Knipex made a more upscale version of these little guys with the multi-grip handle and made in Germany, that would be in keeping with the quality of Knipex's other shears. Really though, I think we just need to give NWS some more love!

[@Tools_and_Guitars]

@@adjutant I totally agree. I'm still a fan of Kippex and like all the stuff I have. But some other German companies like NWS and Witte kinda get lost in the crowd. And Witte rebrands for a bunch of different companies like Matco, etc.

[@LabiaLicker]

That vamp scissors are actually a rebranded ENGINEER PH-55

[@kristofferholst6053]

Hi there,the Stihl ones look heavily inspired by the Felco Pruners, they have a different kind of spring that doesn’t snag. Have you tried those? I know you love Swiss tools, so you might wanna look into those, if you haven’t

[@rrsrsamsung3623]

Are these similar to the Felco 310 ? I have the Felco 310, would it be ok to cut plastic with it since it seems to be a twin of the knipex and probably made in the same factory in Italy ?

[@marcosr83]

Hola. La primer tijera Knipex viene en blíster o suelta?. Porque compré una y vino solo con la envoltura del correo. La uso para telas gruesas y cueros, una maravilla.

[@lastbesttool]

I think this came in a box

[@muxmurki1497]

I have those in my EDC setup and also in my gf's handbag for years. Are about € 11.- if you find a good supplier.

[@Flockingtheherd]

I was really dissapointed with the vampliers small scissors. I bought them for cutting para cord and for small “tool” brand scissors I was shocked when the scissors bent trying to cut the cord. Their pliers are good but damn those scissors suck

[@FreedomFox1]

There’s talk of Germany “de-industrializing” thanks to the energy crisis (which isn’t going away, now that we’ve destroyed their gas pipeline). Do you think Knipex might stop production in Germany? Or are they specialized enough to not really be affected? (Hopefully the latter!)

[@LilasTools]

👍👍

[@leonlemgruber2119]

I could not identify if that knipex uses its handle as a balde opener limiter.
If it is the case, that’s a horrible design, because it will break overtime.

[@jestempies]

Hockey tape is good for texture.

[@lastbesttool]

I’m playing with the idea of hot needle stippling.

[@entertainme121]

I think you measure from open position

[@seano51]

I have those Knipex shears and don't care for them. The 5" OLFA industrial shears are far better cutters.

[@chrischambers5482]

How do you find all this stuff?

[@pzwolski]

I think he does it for living. 😉

[@Jallandhara]

mornin', doc

[@M3a9m]

I've most of them and the best scissors I found are made by FACOM. Give them a try and thank me later.
