the cutting blades (HRC 60-62, HV 1200) needed to cut high-technology \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ematerials.  The ergonomically designed large grip-ring delivers more power with reduced fatigue and wrist strain.  The grips are designed to easily fit in the power portion of the hand to produce cleaner cut with less effort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.  One blade is micro-serrated to avoid slippage and the other can be sharpened to extend life.  The tang on the blades is long to provide cutting

nylon and other knitted, non-knitted, stitched, unidirectional\/bi-axial\/triaxial\/quadraxial materials.  Please see videos showing few of these materials being cut.  The handles are ambidextrous and comfortable.  It is an excellent shear for marine, clothing, electrical, cabling, upholstery, safety and construction industries.  It can also be used for splicing all type of halyards, sheets, topping lifts, lazyjacks and control lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSailmakers and riggers around the United
