I have a small set of the double bows in this video from about 1998 still used for dagging sheep

The Burgon & Ball No.125 single bow shear commercialized in Argentina and Chile under the name "Bigornia" ( Spanish for double horned anvil) was, and still is, the most sold sheep and horse mane shearing tool in this part of the world for more than a hundred years now, overshadowing many other brands, like Ward, Guy Fawkes, F Herder & Co., Arbolito, Stubai, etc.
