Slice Self-Opening Scissors 10595. Designed especially for industrial tailors and fiber artists, these scissors are ideal for trimming thread and yarn. Their blades stay open by default, lowering the muscle effort needed to make each snip. A safety cap holds the scissors closed when they’re not in use and a lanyard hole keeps them close by while you’re working. The 10595 scissors also feature Slice’s signature safety feature: blades with a finger-friendly edge that is safe to the touch. In addition, these blades never rust and won’t stain thread. Durable, ergonomic, strong and safe: these snippers deserve a place in every sewist’s tool kit. Zirconium oxide Slice safety blades. Durable reinforced nylon handles with ribbed grips.
