Glass artist extraordinaire Dante Marioni owned a favorite pair of shears so cracked, corroded and welded-over they were referred to as the "Frankenshears."When they finally gave out, he called Jeff and together they worked up a design that met Dante’s needs. These are those shears—like Dante’s old favorites—but with improvements: quick to open and high capacity.

Dante Diamonds are light in weight with a shear geometry that’s especially good for small hands. These are by far our most popular shears, great for everyone from beginning students to seasoned pros like Dante.

Handles are available in standard and small sizes.

Please note due to the handmade nature of these tools there may be very slight variations in the dimensions and weight.
