Call me stupid, but I have been purchasing different scissors/shears for about 10 years now trying to find the very best for the materials we use in rocketry. I have tried many different brands (Fiskars, Kai, etc.), materials (Titanium, Carbon Steel, Teflon-coated, etc.) and styles (large, small, serrated, industrial, sewing/specialty, etc.) and, although I have found some good scissors, I have never found a decent set of scissors that work on Kevlar (most just bind/rip and mostly do abrasive cuts on Kevlar). Well my search is over! A couple months ago I purchased this set of Clauss 8" shears simply doing a random rating search on a sewing site. I then checked it out on Amazon and the high ratings were matched. Price on the pair was ~$20 so I thought, why not?, but not really thinking I would get any different results. This morning I used them--AND WOW!!!! Cut this 4oz Kevlar like the proverbial butter. I have some 10 to 12oz at home I use for airframe reinforcement and I can't wait to try them on that material, but right now I am just shocked at how well these work!
