blade gang
/bleɪd ɡæŋ/
Definition
1
In New Zealand rural sheep farming terminology, a blade gang is a team of shearers who use traditional hand-held blade shears (also called jingling johnnies or tongs) instead of powered machine shears, often working in high country stations where leaving more wool for weather protection is preferred.
Examples
The blade gang rolled into the high country station, blades at the ready to give the sheep their signature wool mullet.
Forget the noisy machines; the blade gang's old-school snip turns shearing into an art form that sheep secretly love.
When the power went out mid-shed, the blade gang saved the day without missing a fleece.
Hiring the blade gang meant wool flew, yarns were spun, and the pub run started early.
