Scissors

What do you guys/gals consider the best scissors out there for splicing, especially for HMPE/Dyneema line

I use a knife for dyneema so its easier to sharpen when needed. If I wanted scissors, I would get these.

Kai Scissors - Serrated

THE professional scissor. These scissors are made of a high carbon, hardened stainless steel. This version has a serrated edge. Want to know what our splicers use every day when they are cutting and splicing rope? Well you just found it. These Scissors are scary sharp and NOTHING will cut...

I have the non serrated version and they are very nice for regular polyester/nylon stuff.

Kobalt makes a nice one. Good for cutting chickens necks on processing day too.

I have some clauss shorties like most of the arb shops carry. They work pretty good, but I would like those longer ones I think

Ceramic paring knife for dyneema- I bought this one for $6, have used it for personal splicing for 10+years! Made this teeny soft shackle prussic today, and it cut the dyneema just fine
