Oh BTW
Porter's bolt cutters are generally pretty easy to find. They sold about a 12 zillion of them over about 50 years.
The only thing that makes this project possibly worthwhile is that, as far as I know,
10" were the smallest ever made and they didn't sell many of them.
That means scarce.

So I would definitely clean them up, at least far enough to determine if they can be saved at all.

Did they make it past the broken bolt?  Inquiring minds want to know. :)

I can appreciate projects that got sat aside, so if that's the case just tell me to be patient.
