Parrot-bill shears
Lip shears with a short pointed blade, for digging a stone or bubble out of hot glass.
What it is
Cutting Edge Products describes its parrot-bill shear as “a lip shear with a point”: it has the same cut and action as the company’s duckbill shears, but with a short, pointed blade.[1]
How it’s used
The point is for “digging a stone or bubble out of hot glass”, reaching a flaw that a round-nosed trim shear can’t get at.[1]
