Clauss were American manufacturers of scissors, shears, and snips. Their 1962 Catalogue of Hot Hammer Forged products illustrates a range of items, including: Pinking Shears, Full Chrome Plated or Chrome Plated Blades and Black Handles - sizes 7 1/4" and 9" "Shears and scissors for cutting operations on production lines have to be better than those generally sold for home use. In the home they cut "once in a while", but in industrial use they often cut every day, all day. "Clauss specialises in production-line cutting tools, and makes them "the hard way" for good reason. Clauss shears are not "cast" because that would make them too brittle. They are not "cold forged" because that makes them too soft inside. They are not "inlaid blades" because they bent too easily, and can get out of adjustment if they are dropped. "Instead, Clauss makes their cutting tools by Hot Hammer Forging special cutlery steels that harden tougher, can be edged finer, and hold cutting edge longer. Handles and blades are one solid piece of rugged steel, and they are held together with specially-made tapered steel screws, pressure-seated to hold their adjustment permanently. Plating is full, heavy coverage for maximum rust protection. All of this extra quality you get in Clauss cutting tools is hidden - until they are put to work on production operations. Then it shows up fast - in lower maintenance costs ... more efficient cutting ... and longer tool life. When they are selected for home or professional use, these facts mean extra value."Category
