To cut composite-grade materials is a very difficult task. These 10" shears are meant for clean long cuts into sailcloth, rope, canvas, leather, plastic, silk, cotton, nylon and other knitted fabrics. The blade angle and grinding is what sets them apart from competitors. The handles are right hand friendly and comfortable.
