*Sewing Arts Staff Pick* These top-quality, Japanese tailoring shears are specially designed to effortlessly glide through material time after time. The edges are sharpened to a razor fine edge and then specially hardened to hold that edge an extra long time. The blades are made from high carbon tool steel and hard chrome plated for rust resistance and easy cleaning. An innovative dial nut lets you adjust the blades for optimal efficiency. NEVER USE FABRIC SHEARS TO CUT PAPER OR OTHER MATERIALS.
