    One's *always* gotta be careful when rifling thru drawersful of generally useless household hardware and cheap plastic tools -- just in case there's an actually *good* one or two lurking in there somewheres too...?? I think this one qualifies for that. ;-) :-) :-)

    This is a CLAUSS NO. 4258 "7.75" Shear - Straight, One Blade Serrated" as identified here as a currently available product (though renumbered now) on the CLAUSS website.

    https://www.claussco.com/products/hardware-industrial-cutting/scissors-shears-cutters/clauss-7-75-shear-straight-one-blade-serrated.html

    This pair only differs slightly from the brand new ones pictured there. (with its originally black painted handles and slightly more etching on its blade) I don't have the slightest idea how much older than 'now' that might make it, guessing (only) at least a few decades or so. No matter that either -- after a couple trips thru the dishwasher and a little more scrubbing to remove all the residual grime, it appears they've re-emerged from the former neglect to once more become a pretty nifty (also perfectly intact and no doubt perfectly still completely USABLE?!) pair of shears/scissors. I'm certain it won't take me *too* long to start to find 'new uses' for 'em around here...?? :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

      THANKS BUNCHES to Watchsearcher, fortapache, Newfld, vetraio50, hotairfan, Brunswick, Irishcollector., & Trey for your <love it>s!!

      hotairfan, they're still currently just laying here on my desk (because I enjoy looking at 'em?!) and I'm still trying to decide whether I should add 'em to my normal 'service tools' bag in the truck, or confine 'em to the kitchen drawer instead...?
