Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Diagonal side cutters for the daily cropping work of a bench: silver, copper and gold wire, component leads, and electrical cable when the job strays beyond jewellery. The hardened chromium-vanadium jaws are the point — edge retention through repeated, demanding cuts, so the cutters still shear cleanly months in rather than chewing at the wire.

The polished steel head resists corrosion and cleans easily, and is stamped 'DENFOS', 'GERMANY' and 'CHROME-VANADIUM'. Dual-material grips in red and dark grey carry moulded finger guards that stop the hand sliding forward on a hard cut, and the 5.5 inch (140 mm) frame balances control with leverage.

  • Hardened chromium-vanadium steel cutting jaws for superior edge retention.
  • Ergonomic, dual-material grips in red and dark grey provide comfort and control.
  • Moulded finger guards on the handles prevent hand slippage during cutting.
  • Head is stamped with 'DENFOS', 'GERMANY' and 'CHROME-VANADIUM'.
  • Polished steel head resists corrosion and allows for easy cleaning.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Zoe ★★★★★

I was worried 5.5 inches would feel too small, but these fit my hand perfectly for detail work. The chromium-vanadium blades have stayed sharp through weeks of silver and copper wire, and the red and grey grips don't slip even when my fingers get sweaty.

Ella ★★★★★

Snip through 20-gauge copper like it's thread, and the 5.5 inch size fits my hand way better than the bulky cutters I used before. The red and grey grips stay put even when my fingers get sweaty at the bench.

Edward ★★★★★

The chromium-vanadium steel jaws still bite clean through 20-gauge silver wire after two months of daily bench work, no nicks or wobble at the pivot. The red and grey grips are comfortable enough that I forget I'm holding them.
