"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.

______________________________________
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.
