Best Scissors for Vectran (8mm Beeline)

All
I would appreciate your input on the best scissors for cutting Vectran, I use 8mm Beeline for eye to eye friction hitches, and the other ropes we splice. Make and model with your thoughts would really be helpful.
Thanks a lot in advance

I followed John H's advice (knot & rope supp) and went with Kai scissors for splicing. Well worth the money.

Rich H is swearing by cryo treating too so I may give that a shot as well.
 
Bahr Microserrated (and cold treated)

Let me know if you can find them...they are impossible to get your hands on in the US...
 
FYI + FWIW .....

Based on John H's recommendation, I bought a pair of KAI scissors, 3 yrs ago.
Got a 20% Discount, just for saying I attended the Slicing Symposium ............. I assume you can just ask ! !
(KAI Scissors: # N7240-AE 10" w/ serrated bottom blade; $89.95 - 20% Class Dsct = $71.96; Free Ship'g)

Rich ......... more info on your Bahr's.
German made ?

Ciao !

I went to Kai's site and they had # N7240-AS 10" w/ serrated bottom blade; $89.95
are you sure it was AE not AS in the part # ?
 
Call the guys at Kai, use the discount code "rope" and they will hook you up.

Or call us here, ask for Shawn, I know they have some for sale back in the splicing shop, those are the only kind they use.
 
Chis is absolutely correct !

Re-sharpening is ...... "you get what you pay for".
