Scott, The ones in the picture are closed, there's no light between
the cutter. The jaws cross each other exactly like scissors. My guess
is that it's paint or tape, or maybe a reflection. (I doubt the
latter, though. it doesn't look like there's any reflective surface on
the tool.)

In July, I found two pairs of NOS shears, one I sold, the other I still
have. I also found a super cool pair of compound shears (NOS as well). I
only need what I've already got, so I moved the compound shear along as
well, at a blacksmith conference in Colorado. The first thing to sell,
actually. They're very uncommon.

Cheers, Wes
