This high leverage, highly durable 9" leather shears has one knife edge blade and one heavily corrugated edge for cutting leather, rubber, etc. The knife edge blade cuts with more ease, and the corregated edge helps grip the material while cutting. The barrel spring opens the blades after each cut, and the shears stays closed with a latch. The total length is 9", and the blade length is 2". These shears are forged by Wasa, a small company dedicated to quality in Solingen, Germany. Forging makes the metal harder so the scissor stays sharp longer.
