Questions about the product Large 23cm ironing scissors including leather case

What material is the leather case included with the 23 cm bow scissors made of, and how thick is it approximately?

The leather case is made of genuine cowhide leather and has a material thickness of approximately 2 to 3 mm.
Which historical periods or cultures are covered by this replica of hand-forged spring steel bow scissors, and what can it be used for in reenactment?

These hand-forged bow shears cover a broad historical period, from antiquity through the Viking Age to the High Middle Ages, when they were the dominant form of scissors. In reenactment, they are a versatile and authentic tool for camp life, used for cutting fabric, trimming threads in sewing projects, chopping herbs, or working with leather. Thanks to the included leather sheath, they can also be worn historically accurately as part of one's clothing, directly on the belt.
How should hand-forged spring steel bow shears be cared for to protect them from rust, and for which materials is their cutting performance suitable for everyday use or crafts?

To protect the hand-forged spring steel bow scissors from rust, they should be regularly treated with a lubricating oil such as Ballistol. Their cutting performance is ideal for materials such as herbs, fabrics, paper, or cardboard, and proves its worth in everyday historical reenactment as well as in craft work like sewing.
What special properties characterize spring steel as a material for these hand-forged scissors, and what is the difference in handling between bow scissors and modern hinged scissors?

Spring steel is characterized by high strength and elasticity. The material is stable but can be deformed under tension and then returns to its original shape, ensuring the scissors maintain their tension. The main difference in handling lies in the fact that bow scissors spring open automatically due to the inherent tension of the bow and can often be operated with one hand, while modern hinged scissors have two movable arms connected by a rivet, allowing for more precise cuts and a more ergonomic power transmission.
