Scissors

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.

been there

bought some 3 Sword Scissors which seem pretty good for less than $20. they have several styles, the finger holes are on the small side for me, but otherwise nice.

These Singer embroidery scissors have become my new super cheapie favorite. The blades are forged and both blades are micro serrated, which makes them especially good for gripping and snipping slippery materials like GSP.

This is a good idea. GSP is brutal to scissors.
