One thing I’d like to mention when using these, or other brand, tungsten carbide scissors, is to be careful not to drop them on a hard surface floor. I believe that tungsten is harder, but more brittle, than steel, and is easier to break. I dropped 2 pair of Dr. Slick carbide scissors on my cement floor that I used to tie on in Montana (you’d think I would of learned better after breaking the first pair, but didn’t) and broke the tips off.
I’m now tying on a carpeted floor covered with a plastic chair mat, and still drop scissors and other things on it, but none are breaking, fortunately.
