These PATENT PENDING 7-1/2" shears are sharp and are meant for clean cuts into a variety of soft materials where ordinary scissors would wear out quickly. Its blades are made of high carbon alloy steel from Japan (SUS 420J2) with heat treatment through a proprietary manufacturing process to harden (HRC 50-54) the cutting blades needed to last. One blade is micro-serrated to avoid slippage and the other can be sharpened to extend life. The spring loaded handles make these easy to use and the polypropylene handles with ergonomic over-molded TPR grips reduce hand fatigue. The tang on the blades is long to provide cutting efficiency. <p></p> <p></p> For heavy duty work, please see our Straight Edge Heavy Duty Shears (ATi-832S, Item ID: 5435212636) or Angled Edge Heavy Duty Shears (ATi-832A, Item ID: 5444057761).
