According to my 1975 Wiss catalog, the 1226 shears are “Knife Edge” “Bent Trimmers” that are called “Carpet, Upholstery and Fabric Shears”. They’re “Hot Drop-Forged. Polished Blades. Patented Set-Easy Pivot. Royal Blue Handles. One blade is ground to a knife-edge for faster, cleaner, easier cutting of today’s synthetic fabrics.” They are 12 inches long, with a 6 1/8 inch length of cut, and weigh about 1 1/4 pounds.


See any Royal Blue Paint left on them?
