Orca

The core innovation of Orca shears is a four-bar linkage mechanism that places the instantaneous centre of rotation between the handles distally to the tool, optimizing the power transfer from the fingers to the cutting blades. Hand power delivery to the cutting action is increased by about 50 % compared to conventional shears. The four main components are injection molded from the high-performance, 40 % carbon fibre reinforced polyamide to minimize the weight and compliance. Removable hardened stainless steel blades are chromium-plated for resistance to wear and corrosion.
