Wiss 22WN 12-1/4" heavy duty shears have extra wide, extra heavy raised blades recommended for unholstery, carpet, drapery and fabric. They measure 12-1/4" in total length, with a blade length of 6". They have chrome-plated blades, the patented SET-EASY® pivot, and black enamel handles. They are hot drop forged, which makes the metal harder so the scissor stays sharp longer. The bent or off-set handle is designed for cutting on a table. Made in Columbia. The product number 55056 is an old product number.
