User questions & answers

Question:	What is the warranty on these scissors
Answer:	My scissors purchased in 2018 have a nick on one of the blades about midway in the blade You know I can't use them to cut fabric or little else. I called Amazon and the person I talked to made me think it was my tough luck. Very unlike most Amazon Customer service problems. I feel like they should be replaced or my money refunded. Alice MHelton
Question:	Which country makes these scissors
Answer:	Like other scissors top brands, almost all of them are made in China. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitateto contact our service team.
Question:	I do leatherwork... belts and holsters, about 8oz+ leather. my last project, i had to use my aircraft tin snips. will these cut heavy leather? thanx
Answer:	Rather than scissors I might suggest using these blades, they cut like the proverbial hot knife through butter with very heavy belt-thickness leather. The company has two versions of their baldes, one for abrasive things like sheetrock and this one that I prefer which is for clean cutting things like leather and cardboard etc. : Tajima LCB-30RB Precision Craft Endura 3/8-Inch Razor Blades, 10-Pack. I use them in these: HAUTMEC Innovative Dual Use Mechanism Box Utility Cutter .... and I also very much like this: Gerber EAB Lite Pocket Knife 31-000345 with a different Tajima blade for it . I think for leather work these might be much better than scissors. I just used the HAUTMEC with the Tajima blade this afternoon on heavy belt-thickness vegetable tanned leather to make some stacked-and-glued-togehter leather polishing wheels for my bench grinder. I will use them with polishing compound to get that final edge when sharpening knives. It cut so easily, all the way through the thick leather with little effort. Didn't even need to go over the cut a second time to finish the cut. Just one effortless pass and it was done. Loved it.
Question:	Can the blades be resharpened
Answer:	Yes, they can be resharpened with the right sharpener or sharpening method. The blades are durable because the steel is forged and barely need to be sharpened.

Question:	How do I get them sharpened. Can I get my small scissors sharpened Also
Answer:	I have always gone to a Kitchen or Food supply warehouse. It cost 5 to 10 dollars. You must do some serious Fabric cutting. I have had this brand (in 7") for nearly 40yrs and never had to get them sharpened. I know if you use it to cut paper, it really messes up the blades. But yeah, either a Kitchen or Fabric store can offer Knife/Blade Sharpening. Hope this helps. Happy cutting!!

User questions & answers

Question:	why do you love them
Answer:	This chair was awful. We sent it back 3 times and finally gave up
Question:	will they cut oilcloth
Answer:	I have not used the foot rest as the clasps won't stay together.
Question:	Can these cut through anti pill fleece and minky or cuddle fabric
Answer:	No, no reclining function; however, the chair is more of a relaxed sitting position than a typical lawn chair
Question:	how large is the zigzag pattern? for instance, whats the length of the triangle's base and height
Answer:	The pillow can be removed, but given how the chair forces you to sit, it's much more comfortable to keep the cushion on. On another note, I would not recommend buying this chair anymore. I am 75 pounds lighter than the max for the chair, but one day when I was lifting myself up out of the chair, the front of the armrest just snapped off. Not very sturdy.
