The Westfaleninstrumente WI-17,0006 Single Bow Sheep Shears are crafted for professional and hobbyist livestock handlers seeking precise, controlled, and comfortable wool shearing. With 5.5-inch finely honed blades, these shears are ideal for general shearing, trimming, and maintaining the fleece on sheep, goats, alpacas, and other wool-bearing animals.

This model features a single bow spring design, which functions as an automatic blade retraction mechanism. When hand pressure is released, the bow gently opens the blades, minimizing hand fatigue and ensuring a smooth, continuous shearing motion.

Made from high-quality steel, the shears are durable, maintain a sharp edge, and withstand repeated use in demanding farm environments. The 5.5” length offers a balanced mix of control and efficiency, making them perfect for shaping fleece, touch-ups, and spot trimming.

Whether preparing animals for showing or conducting seasonal shearing, these single bow sheep shears offer traditional craftsmanship with ergonomic functionality.
