Ascend Tools 8 inch Heavy Duty Professional Spring Loaded Multipurpose Straight Edge Shears

These PATENT PENDING 8" 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 angled cutting edge please see our Heavy Duty Multipurpose Angled Edge Shears (ATi-832A).
