"Special shears are required to cut Kevlar fabrics and tapes. These shears are designed to hold the fabric securely
as the cutting blade does its job. If you look at these shear blades closely, you'll notice that there are serrations on the
'holding' edge and a sharp edge on the cutter. These shears are a specialty item and are therefore somewhat expensive, but
they are well worth the price in reduced aggravation and improved results. Don't try to cut Kevlar without them." Composite Materials Handbook - M.M. Schwartz

Fiberglas™, Dyneema™, Kevlar™, Spectra™, Vectran™, Twaron®, Laminates & Similar Engineered Materials
| KAI 7250 10" shears. Very hard blades. |

| Solid steel construction. |
| Avoid injury. |
|
| Blunted safety tips. |
* Blades made of high carbon Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel for extra-long
life and cutting efficiency.
* Corrosion resistant blades hardened to Rockwell C-60.* Ideal for cutting technical textiles.
* One piece solid steel construction.
* Large ergonomically designed handles coated with soft
elastic polymer for comfort.
*
Duplex interlocking pivot screw for correct blade tension.
*Available with one or both blade edges serrated for superior gripping.
Double serrated blades are the best choice for Kevlar.
*Rockwell C-60. Blade hardness is measured
on the Rockwell C scale. The higher the Rockwell number, the harder the steel. Harder steel tends to hold an edge longer,
while softer steel is easier to sharpen.
Most
blade steels range from 55 to 61 C scale. A hardness of 56 or less results in a blade edge that tends to wear rather quickly,
requiring frequent sharpening. A hardness of 60 or above, results in blade edges that last the longest.

FISKARS INDUSTRIAL SCISSORS AND SHEARS
Replacing solid metal handles with synthetic material results in shears that weigh considerably less.
Lighter weight shears require less pressure to use. The fatigue, muscle ache and risk of neuromuscular disease associated
with repeated cutting tasks is substantially reduced.
Blades on Fiskars lightweight shears are made to industrial grade standards. Blade integrity, hardness and edge life, is as good
or better than traditional solid steel models, regardless of weight or gauge.
Note the new Fiskars Softgrip® cushion handle and Softouch® ergonomic models.
Select Fiskars to accomplish cutting tasks more easily, accurately and efficiently, with less effort and greater
safety. All models have adjustable pivot screws.
FISKARS fatigue reducing shears cut as well or better than solid
steel
models that weigh twice as much.

______________________________________
If you are cutting composites,
glass fibers or Kevlar, read this.
Mineral fibers are very abrasive and tend to wear blade edges at a different angle than Kevlar
does. While the same pair of scissors or shears used to cut fiberglass may be used to cut graphite (carbon) fibers, avoid
using them to cut Kevlar.
Keep Blades Clean
When finished cutting, always clean residual fibers from blades. Acetone is recommended for dissolving and removing prepreg
resins, urethane, adhesives, epoxies etc.
