Abstract

A cutting tool comprising a metal plate having a central aperture, a forwardly extending blade and a rearwardly extending tang having a second aperture offset from the central aperture, wherein the plate is coated with an electroless nickel layer. Also included is a first elongated member comprising a first handle terminating at a distal end by a jaw and a second elongated member comprising a second handle. The first and second members are pivotally connected to the plate at the central and second apertures by couplers respectively, so that the blade and jaw pivotably move in response to pivotable movement of the first and second members about the coupler in the central aperture.
