Feature(may vary by option.)
●USAGE MODEL ? Shears to cut heavy duty materials such as thick fabrics, fiberglass, carbon fiber, nylon or polypropylene rope, canvas, leather, breather, upholstery, craft material, plastic and more. The sharp blades provide clean trims on single of multi-layer cutting material. The notch near the fulcrum allows cutting round material which high leverage (such as nylon or polypropylene rope).
●CONSTRUCTION ? These shears are ideal for cutting long swathes through layers of thick and heavy fabric. Made from high carbon Japanese steel the blades are hardened to HRC 50-54 Rockwell standards. The tang extends into the grip for efficient transfer of cutting power to the blades. One blade is micro-serrated to avoid slippage and the other can be sharpened to extend life. The bolted joint allows modification of blade tension for control over cutting different types of materials.
●PERFORMANCE ? The hardness and grinding renders sharp blade edge which delivers a clean cut ? where straight, a trim or a rounding cut. These shears have been tested for several thousand cuts on soft materials. They also have been tried on 8-layers of 6-oz fiberglass for multiple cuts.
●ERGONOMICS ? The ergonomically designed large grip-ring delivers more power with reduced fatigue and wrist strain, especially in repetitive cutting jobs. The grips easily fit in the power portion of the hand to produce cleaner cut with less effort. The larger loops allow fitting of large or gloved hands.
●MAINTENANCE ? Under normal use, it is recommended to clean the blades with soft cloth. After heavy use, it is recommended the blades be cleaned with normal cleaning oil. Keep shears away from moisture; clean with soft cloth if in contact with water. The shears must be used as directed. The blade life can be severely shortened if hard thick material is cut (e.g., metal plates). The grip is made of Thermo-plastic elastomer and cleaner with soap-water or any light industrial cleaner.

Description
Ascend Tools’ heavy duty re-sharpenable big-bow utility shears cut heavy duty materials, and provide clean trims for items ranging from sailcloth, fiberglass, carbon fiber, rope (poly or nylon), canvas, and leather to breather fabric, plastic, nylon, upholstery, craft materials, plastics, floral, wire and more. They feature long ultra-sharp blades ideal for cutting long swathes even through multiple layers of thick and heavy fabrics.
These shears are lightweight and have comfortable grip handles. Its blades are made of high carbon alloy steel from Japan and are infused with Molybdenum and Vanadium through a proprietary manufacturing process to harden the cutting blades (HRC 50-54) needed to cut high-strength materials. The ergonomically designed large grip-ring delivers more power with reduced fatigue and wrist strain, especially in repetitive cutting jobs. The grips are designed ergonomically to easily fit in the power portion of the hand to produce cleaner cut with less effort. The larger loops allow fitting of large or gloved hands. 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 efficiency. The bolted joint provides control over cutting different types of materials.
Fabricators who use fiberglass and carbon fiber materials have replaced their current shears in favor of these premium quality 9-3/4" shears.
