Shears of Albacete (Spain )

[Montejano]

Friends of the forum
Looking for pictures of my works, pictures of the shears of Albacete have appeared (Spain). Although I know that the forum picks up mainly the knives, the shears are part of the cutlery of my city.
I carried out several replicas (reproductions) of old shears of clerkship and believe me that they are as beautiful as the best collection knife.
I show some pictures of old shears and also of a replica (reproduction) carried out by me. If you like the shears I will show you the replicas (reproductions) that have at home.
These shears are of clerkship or desk (to cut paper) their origin is around the XV century and until the XVIII century. Their acme was rather the XVIII one.
Their longitude varies from the 22 cm until the 53 cm; they are shears of big dimensions. they were shears built in iron and with engravings to the strong water ". Their kitchen knives are usually stabbed (dagger form) narrow and with 3 longitudinal planes. their arms are usually a couple of columns balustrades; characteristic it is also some stockings moons of Moorish, called style C ". The engraving covers the whole leaf (kitchen knives) and it takes all type of legends and the owner's name.

A greeting

Buscando fotograf?as de mis trabajos, han aparecido fotos de las tijeras de Albacete( Espa?a ) . Aunque s? que el foro recoge principalmente los cuchillos , las tijeras forman parte de la cuchiller?a de mi ciudad.
Realic? varias r?plicas( reproducciones ) de tijeras antiguas de escriban?a y creedme que son tan bonitas como el mejor cuchillo de colecci?n .
Muestro unas fotos de tijeras antiguas y tambi?n de una r?plica ( reproducci?n ) realizada por m? . Si os gustan las tijeras os mostrar? las r?plicas ( reproducciones ) que tengo en casa .
Estas tijeras son de escriban?a o escritorio ( para cortar papel )su origen es alrededor del siglo XV y hasta el siglo XVIII . Su apogeo fue m?s bien el XVIII.
Su longitud var?a desde los 22 cm hasta los 53 cm ; son tijeras de grandes dimensiones .Eran tijeras construidas en hierro y con grabados al " agua fuerte ".Sus cuchillas suelen ser apu?aladas ( forma de pu?al ) estrechas y con 3 planos longitudinales .sus brazos suelen ser una pareja de columnas balaustradas ; caracter?stico es tambi?n unas medias lunas de estilo morisco, llamadas " C ". El grabado cubre toda la hoja ( cuchillas ) y lleva todo tipo de leyendas y el nombre del due?o .

Beautiful work as always. Did you start with flat stock and then carve and shape everything including the columns?I really like the delicate detail of your etching, you are a true craftsman and artist.

Your work always amazes me. When I see it I am reminded of the early cutlery produced in Toledo, Spain. Your work is beautiful!

Thank you friends for their words.

The new shears in red bottom, I carried out them and they were rewarded in a competition. The purpose that was sought with the cocncurso, era to encourage the artisans from Spain, to recover the old desk scissor. The competition lasted 4 years and they suppressed it because artisans were not presented. Of the 4 years they rewarded me 3 years and the shears are in the museum of Albacete (Spain) they are very difficult of carrying out and with the exception of the columns balustrades (arms of the scissor) that are lathed; the rest of the scissor is by hand with file and fine mountains. They cut to the perfection and they have great adjustment; carried out in steel inox 440 and perfectly temperate and sharp. Recorded to the strong water with technical traditional of last century.

Gracias amigos por sus palabras .

Las tijeras nuevas en fondo rojo , las realic? yo y fueron premiadas en un concurso . La finalidad que se pretend?a con el cocncurso , era animar a los artesanos de Espa?a, para recuperar la tijera de escritorio antigua .El concurso dur? 4 a?os y lo suprimieron porque no se presentaban artesanos . De los 4 a?os me premiaron 3 a?os y las tijeras est?n en el museo de Albacete ( Espa?a ) son muy dif?ciles de realizar y con la excepci?n de las columnas balaustradas ( brazos de la tijera ) que est?n torneadas ; el resto de la tijera es a mano con lima y sierras finas . Cortan a la perfecci?n y tienen gran ajuste ; realizadas en acero inox 440 y perfectamente templadas y afiladas .Grabadas al ? agua fuerte ? con t?cnicas tradicionales del siglo pasado .
