Ascend Tools 15cm - 0.6cm Carbon Steel Shears - Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra, Technora, Nomex, Innegra, Dacron, Fibreglass, Carbon Fibre, Breathers Fibre Cable

I use these for cutting technora/spectra/kevlar cordage, and they work great for that. probably cut a few hundred lengths and haven't had to replace them yet. Though they are certainly not as sharp as they were.

Vielen Dank Super

These are identical to the ones that are sold by specialty rigging lofts and ropecraft websites. They cut aramid, dyneema, and other technical fibers with relative ease (as long as you keep it under tension and/or alignment) and the big handles prevent hand fatigue. I've been using mine for over a year, and they still work and cut like new. If you are a sailor or sewer or leathercrafter or rigger these are a good purchase.

I bought these five years ago when I couldn’t find anything else to cut dyneema lines easily with. They go through them like butter. I’ve been using them regularly for 5 years now and they are still like new. This morning I had to dive under our boat to cut a crab pot loose from our prop. I initially brought a knife which wouldn’t even begin to cut through the synthetic line they used. Got thee scissors out, swam back down and in a single snip cut through that line multiple times to untangle the prop. I may be giving these as gifts this year to fellow sailors. They are invaluable.

I purchased these scissors to make splicing easy with new rope material including Dyneema and other strong fibres. I had seen similar scissors used in videos to make splicing of these ropes and it looked so easy. Normal scissors will not cut Dyneema (It will tear each fibre while making the scissors dull very quickly). These will make a clean cut all the time. I have included a few pictures of the soft-shackles and splicing I have done as well as part of my splicing kit. I would recommend these scissors to anyone looking into cutting similar fibres and material. It is amazing to see how easy it makes the job.
