i bought a pair of viennese pliers a few years ago, and i don't know what i had in mind. i don't know what these are for, to be truthful, and i've never used them. someone told me they were to nibble away at the edge of glass -- does that mean after glass has been scored, like to even up the edge of a curve? the ends aren't sharp like mosaic clipping pliers, so it beats me what they're for. thanks. kitty.

Hi Kitty,
Sounds like grozing pliers you use in stained glass work. In the days before Glastar grinders you had to nibble away your errors in cutting using a grozing plier or something of the like.
