STRAIGHT & BENT TRIMMERS -  HIGH LEVERAGE SHEARS
 
Trimming Shears are ideal for general cutting. Bent trimmers keep the hands away from the table and are traditionally used by tailors and seamstresses. Straight trimmers are used to cut such items as textiles, canvas, fiberglass and rubber. All Cutrite shears can be modified to have blunted or fillistered tips. See the detailed differences explained below.

High Leverage Shears usually have longer handles compared to the blade length. This allows the user to cut thicker materials, with less hand closing pressure. High leverage shears cut applications such as carpets, light metal, wire, leather, banding, cordage, heavy fabrics and strapping. These shears can also be modified to have blunted or fillistered tips as described below.
 
 
BLUNT TIPS - FILLISTER TIPS - KNIFE EDGE - SERRATION
    
For safety reasons, many factories blunt the tips of scissors that are normally pointed. In a closed position, the tip of the scissor is rounded. This way the scissor will not stab people, tear holes in pockets, snag material, etc.

FILLISTER TIPS

Fillistering is similar to blunting, but takes it a step further. Each tip of a scissor or shear is rounded in the open position, instead of closed. This means that 1/8" to 1/4" of the cutting edge is rounded. This is done so that it is difficult for a user to cut themselves when closing the blade. The skin is pushed forward, not pinched and cut. Material cut is not affected, since it is usually much thinner than pinched skin.

KNIFE EDGE

A knife edge is done by precisely grinding the cutting edge of one blade to a sharper angle for easier cutting. Excellent feature for cutting upholstery, carpet, heavy fabrics, Kevlar, leather, belting and other tough to cut materials.

SERRATION

Serration or corrugation are sharp notches cut into the edge of one or both blades of a scissor or shear. The serration keeps the item being cut from slipping forward. Serration is effective in holding thin and slippery materials such as silk, polyester, Kevlar, Spectra and nylon, as well as thick and hard materials like wire, sheet metal, twigs, rope and rubber without pushing. Different types of serration are available, from a fine 40 teeth/inch to a coarse 16 teeth/inch. The thicker the material to be cut, the coarser the serration needs to be.
