Swanstrom S158 Medium Tapered Relieved Head Super Flush Cutter

The Swanstrom S158 Medium Tapered Relieved Head Super Flush Cutter is a premium professional cutter designed for jewelers, permanent jewelry artists, metalsmiths, and wire professionals who need greater cutting capacity without sacrificing precision or finish quality. Featuring a medium-sized tapered relieved head, super flush cutting edge, and comfortable standard handles, the S158 offers an ideal balance of access, cutting power, and exceptionally clean results.

The medium tapered relieved head provides enhanced strength over smaller cutters while maintaining excellent visibility and maneuverability in tighter work areas. The relieved jaw profile improves access around jump rings, chain links, and intricate jewelry components, making detailed cutting easier and more precise.

Its super flush cutting geometry produces an ultra-clean, near-flat cut with virtually no pinch, minimizing sharp edges and reducing filing or finishing time. This makes the S158 especially valuable for professional jewelry fabrication, permanent jewelry, and fine wire applications where a clean finish matters.
