whinewine Report post Posted December 10, 2008 Does anyone have experience with the CS Osborne Belt Shears to know how they compare to others such as the TLF shears?L'Bum LB, I'm not sure about the Osborne/Wiss shears, but anything's better than tandy's "PRO SUPER SHEARS" which were a knockoff (& a VERY poor one, at that) of the Gingher shears. In fact, Tandy is once more selling the Ginghers, after all these years. The Ginghers & 'PSS's are not serrated, while this Osborne /Wiss is. Tandy right now does not have a comparable serrated shears so one cannot make a valid comparison of the osborne vs the TLC one. I do have an old pair of serrated shears similar to the one pictured (I bought mine years & years ago) & I almost never use it as I don't like the marks it leaves as it cuts. I prefer my Ginghers. For something that would require a serrated edge, I feel a head knife would be better, IMHO. russ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leather Bum Report post Posted December 10, 2008 Ok, I didn't know the serrated edge leaves marks. . . I have the TLF Pro Super Shears and noticed the leather sometimes slides along the blades when cutting. I'm not sure if that's due to the non-serrated edge or a dull edge. They seem pretty sharp, I think. Thanks for the note, Russ. L'Bum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
