A nipper comprising:
- a first member and a second member pivotally interconnected;
- the first member having a first region having a blade portion comprising a cutting edge and a second region having a pivot portion and handle portion;
- the second member having a first region having blade portion comprising a cutting edge and a second region having a pivot portion and handle portion;
- the first regions of the first and second members are formed, at least in part, of a carbide material, wherein the entire cutting edge of blade portions of the first regions of the first and second members are formed of a carbide material;
- wherein the carbide material of first regions of the first and second members are interconnected via brazing to the pivot portions of the first and second members;
- and
- the first and second members being configured such that pivotable movement of the first member to the second member causes pivotal movement of the cutting edge of the first member relative to the cutting edge of the second member.
