National Shears have high carbon, high chromium blades with four cutting edges of premium quality tool steel and will withstand nicking and wear better than relieved blades. National blades are secured to the shear with tempered flathead screws through countersunk holes in blades. Complete cuts of full width pieces are 2” longer than specified cutting length.
