Trauma Shears for Nurses
Shears that survive the twelve
Designed by an ER Charge Nurse who was tired of shears that bent, rusted and vanished by the end of the shift. Pocket size, scrub friendly and loud enough to find on the counter.

I spent years as an ER Charge Nurse watching good nurses fight bad shears. ONE SHEAR is the pair I wanted on my hip back then.Kevin M. Arnold, BSN, RN · Founder, former ER Charge Nurse
Questions from the field
How do I clean and sterilize them?
Follow the cleaning and sterilization instructions (IFU) linked on the Tier 1 Elite and BUS product pages.
Which one fits a scrub pocket?
The ONE SHEAR Mini. If you want full size, clip the Tier 1 Elite in a Kydex holster at the waistband.
Will these actually cut a seatbelt or a boot?
Yes. The Tier 1 Elite has a straight double-bevel edge with aggressive front serrations that grip Kevlar, leather, denim, seatbelts and boots without wandering, and a 4-rib core lock tested through 50,000+ open and close cycles.
What if they are not right for me?
Carry them for 30 days. If they are not the best pair you have used, send them back. Every pair is also covered by a 5-year limited warranty.
Do you do department or unit orders?
Yes. Email sales@oneshear.com with your agency, quantity and colors and a real person will put together a quote.
