8 inch shears to cut high performance materials - Kevlar Dyneema Vectran Spectra Technora Nomex Innegra Zylon Dacron Fiberglass Carbon Fiber Breathers

Description

These shears efficiently cut materials made from aramid, para-aramid fibers and composites such as Kevlar®, Dyneema®, Vectran®, Spectra®, Technora®, Nomex®, Innegra®, Tedlar®, Dacron® and other blends made from fiberglass and carbon fiber which ordinary scissors cannot cut. Its blades are made of high carbon alloy steel from Japan and are infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium through a proprietary manufacturing process to harden the cutting blades (HRC 60-62, HV 1200) needed to cut high-technology materials. The ergonomically designed large grip-ring delivers more power with reduced fatigue and wrist strain. The grips are designed to easily fit in the power portion of the hand to produce cleaner cut with less effort. One blade is micro-serrated to avoid slippage and the other can be sharpened to extend life. The tang on the blades is long to provide cutting efficiency.

To cut composite-grade materials is a very difficult task. These 8" shears are meant for clean long cuts into sailcloth (especially multilayered) , rope, canvas, vinyl, leather, plastic, silk, cotton, nylon and other knitted, non-knitted, stitched, unidirectional/bi-axial/triaxial/quadraxial materials. Please see videos showing few of these materials being cut. The handles are ambidextrous and comfortable. It is an excellent shear for marine, clothing, electrical, cabling, upholstery, safety and construction industries. It can also be used for splicing all type of halyards, sheets, topping lifts, lazyjacks and control lines.

Sailmakers and riggers around the United States use these shears in their daily projects to cut fabric, thin ropes, sleeves and tapes.

Fabricators who use fiberglass and carbon fiber materials have replaced their current shears in favor of these 8" shears. In a unique way these shears have become choice shears for spinning art performers and equipment fabricators.

Note: A customer recommended to reserve one pair for specific use to cut Kevlar only. These shears will dull quickly if used interchangeably for abrasives like fiberglass or carbon.
