"In July 2008 I attended an advanced clinic where I got a chance to use the Jakoti hand shears. I have 22 llamas and do all my shearing by hand. I’ve used scissors of various types and traditional hand shears from expensive new ones to antique sheep shears. The Jakoti hand shears is by far the best I have ever tried. They are light weight without feeling cheap. They handle good and give a nice clean cut. I can take a big swath without the shears getting bound up. I am able to get close to the skin and still navigate so I don’t nip the animal. I didn’t design them but somehow the ergodynamics are perfect and I don’t get hand fatigue. They are absolutely fabulous and I bought 2 pair in case I loose one. My vet likes them too so I may buy a pair for her as a Christmas present."

Jakoti Hand Shears $45.00
Are you ready for a paradigm shift in shearing? I have been hand shearing since the early 80's and have used many different brands of hand shears these Jakoti shears are the absolute best tool for the job! The shears come from Greece and Zephyr Farm/Camelidynamics is the ONLY source in the USA. At 10 ounces they are light and extremely easy to use. The 6" carbon steel blades are extremely sharp and so easy to use it feels like you are using a much shorter blade. The double bow design make them much more efficient. And the very best news... they are largely self sharpening! With heavy use they will need a bit of touching up but sharpening them doesn't require special equipment or special shear sharpening experience. Touch them up with an oil stone or diamond steel yourself. The shears come with sharpening and care instructions.
