"Special shears are required to cut
Kevlar fabrics and tapes. These shears are designed to hold the fabric securely as the cutting blade does its job. If you
look at these shear blades closely, you'll notice that there are serrations on the 'holding' edge and a sharp
edge on the cutter. These shears are a specialty item and are therefore somewhat expensive, but they are well worth the price
in reduced aggravation and improved results. Don't try to cut Kevlar without them."
Composite Materials Handbook - M.M. Schwartz
“Composites can be difficult to cut, even when uncured. Some considerations that should be addressed include
the possibility of temperature control so that the prepreg materials do not prematurely cure, the need to clean the cutting
tools, handling issues, clean room considerations, and precision cutting at particular angles for maximum mechanical performance
in the finished part. When cutting aramid fibers, some special problems are encountered because of the toughness of the material.
Hence, test cuts should be performed before a new cutter system is purchased.

IMPORTANT
If you are cutting composites, glass fibers or Kevlar, note that mineral fibers are
very abrasive and tend to wear blade edges at a different angle than Kevlar does. While the same pair of scissors or shears
used to cut fiberglass may be used to cut graphite (carbon) fibers, avoid using them to cut Kevlar.
Keep Blades Clean. When finished cutting, always clean residual fibers from blades.
Acetone is recommended for dissolving and removing prepreg resins, urethane, adhesives, epoxies etc.

Replacing solid metal handles with synthetic material results in shears that weigh considerably
less. Lighter weight shears require less pressure to use. The fatigue, muscle ache and risk of neuromuscular disease associated
with repeated cutting tasks is substantially reduced. Blades on Fiskars lightweight shears are made to industrial
grade standards. Blade integrity, hardness and edge life, is as good or better than traditional solid steel models,
regardless of weight or gauge.
Note the new Fiskars Softgrip® cushion handle and Softouch® ergonomic
models.
Select Fiskars to accomplish cutting tasks more easily, accurately and efficiently, with less
effort and greater safety. All models have adjustable pivot screws. FISKARS fatigue reducing shears cut as
well or better than solid steel models that weigh twice as much.
