Shears

Shears are oversized scissors typically used for trimming and cutting. They are tools of trade for shepherds to cut the wool off their sheep and for clothiers to create their merchandise. In a pinch, they can be fairly effective when used as a makeshift weapon. Although not balanced for fighting, they are one-handed, allowing the use of a shield if available.

A pair of shears have a damage rating of "6."

Trivia

 * In Ultima VII Part Two, shears have a damage of 1 and a reach of 2.
