Cranfield Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I saw some scissor like cutters once, which would cut small bones. Now I want some I can't find them, or remember what they are called. Google searches only find me surgeons instruments, does anyone know what these are ?

taffygun Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 A good pair of strong secateurs would do the same job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 What bones will you be cutting? From which animal? I'd go with "taffygun" for the smaller boned animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I thought of secaturs, but I really wanted something with longer blades, as I am cutting through meat to get to the bone. I will have a look at longer blade secaturs. SNAKEBITE, don't refer to my wife as an "animal" again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I remember seeing such things advertised by JML in places like Focus, Robert Dyers etc..... but we got a pair £9.99 from Focus and they were kak. I treid to cut through a bunny leg bone and they would flex, if too much pressure would bend altogether, they were only good for cutting through the join of the bone through the sinews.

pin Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Good quality secateurs work just as well, but they cost similar money. I have tried the cheapo ones and its the same old thing, buy cheap buy twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried the cheapo ones and its the same old thing, buy cheap buy twice :blink: I bought A hunter set of knifes from Canada when I was there and they had a pair of hunters shears and they useless the stud sheared on a rabbits leg so went out and bought a decent pair of hand secateurs from B&Q about £15.00 they were, and they stay nice and sharp just make sure the pivot pin is made os steel and not aly/plastic cause they will just shear at that point.

SNAKEBITE Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have never seen the point of shearing rabbits legs. I always break the bone by hand and cut off with a knife. Thus saving damage to blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have never seen the point of shearing rabbits legs. I always break the bone by hand and cut off with a knife. Thus saving damage to blade. I don't like getting stuck with bits of rabbit bone, which is why I do that. Snip 4 legs, cut into a pinch half way down the back and pull hard - job done in 20 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
