Red Hot Metal Random Specialty Diamond Shears

Long-bladed Random Specialty Diamond Shears

Cutting Edge Products by Red Hot Metal Inc.

The 2026 version of the very first diamond shears Jeff designed and made, originally introduced in 1978 under his Random Specialties name.

The original shears were known for their distinctive longer blades and unique design. After years of requests from glassblowers, Jeff went back to his original drawings and brought the design back to life — with the first new version available in decades.

Jeff Lindsay crafts his precision tools to exacting standards using the highest quality metals. His pipes are crafted from 316 Stainless Steel and aircraft quality Chrome-moly 4130 with 309 Stainless Steel heads. His shears are crafted from hardened D2 rust and wear resistant steel. All blades are cut using CNC water jet technology and then mill beveled, tempered and finished with a doubled bevel at the cutting edge. All this results in a superb edge that stays sharp.
