Its blades are made of high carbon alloy\nsteel from Japan and are infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium (HRC 60~62)\nthrough a proprietary manufacturing process to achieve a level of hardness\n(HV1200) to cut high tech material. It can be used to cut materials made from\ncarbon fiber, glass fiber, plastic, canvas, vinyl, leather, suede,\nleatherette, nylon, silk, cotton, for upholstery, headliner, cloth, string or\nother knitted forms. To cut composite-grade materials is a very difficult\ntask. These 5.5\" shears are meant for precise and clean cuts into the\nmaterial. They can be used to make relief cuts during the lay-up process so\nreinforcements precisely fit in the mold. Or cut stubborn threads hanging off\nthe edge of fabric. Or make small cuts for intricate parts. The cutting\nperformance is great across the length of the blade; in fact, the blades cut\nall the way to the tips for quick and accurate trimming. They can also be used\nto make relief cuts during the lay-up process to fit the reinforcement into\nthe mold. Also used for splicing all type of halyards, sheets, topping lifts,\nlazyjacks and control lines. Cut hanging fibers along the cutting edge of the\nfabric cleanly. Cut fiber thread off the fiber optic cable neatly when\ninstalling connectors. These shears are preferred by fiber cable installers\nduring the process of fiber cable preparation along with Ascend Tools' 3-hole\nFiber Cable Stripper (ASIN B0CFNN1696). Also preferred by marine riggers, rope\nmanufacturers and aviation technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eAPPLICATIONS: Specially designed to cut Kevlar, Dyneema, Spectra, Vectran, Dacron, Nomex, Technora, Zylon, Innegra, Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and other high-tensile strength materials for precise, clean and numerous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSUPERIOR QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Blades are made from high carbon alloy steel from Japan and infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium to achieve a HRC 60-62 level of hardness.
