These 8" knife-edge shears are excellent for sailmaking. They are designed for cutting synthetic fabrics. Cutting can be initiated by "scissoring" and then continued by simply pushing the scissors along. The result is a quick, clean cut—even with slippery nylon and Dacron cloth. There are no better shears made for the work performed by sailmakers. A left-handed version is available. Chrome-plated overall. Made by Gingher.
