Seen in the 15th Century, this Device (sometimes simply known as "Shears"), were made in a "decorative" Crocodile motif. The "teeth" were sharpened extensions of the cutting blades of The Shears. Either a Toe, Finger or Male Genitalia were placed appropriately in the ''Jaws'' - and cut off! ''The Crocodile Shears'' were a simple and effective Torture and disfigurement device.
