If you have a Tandy Leather shop nearby, they are having a sale on some pretty decent scissors. These are realy nice and are used for cutting leather so, on glass they work great. Normally $50, on sale for $25. Just a tip.

Are these the ones?
Do you think there are good for carbon fiber or Kevlar?
Kind regards,

I saw their page for granite slabs. $50 a square foot for a work table. I throw bigger offcuts away! Any of you leatherworkers want some granite slab for free?
Bring it on!
Hello S'Ding, the ones in the ad were all chrome and I believe 10 inch. The cutting edges are not serrated but straight bladed. I'm going to try to get some tomorrow. If I do, I'll let you know and give you the catalogue number.
ps, The granite slabs are 1&3/8 inch thick and not a bad deal for a sharpening surface. The bigger one will allow wider thickness planer blades to be worked.
Thanks for the heads up Tim, if I hadn’t just picked up a nice pair of WISS serrated for $5 at the swap meet, I’d be stoked on those.
Hey Mike, Scored huh? Yeah Tandy used to be right on Main St. and they moved over to central Oxnerd.
Hey S'Ding/Michael, the scissors on sale are the "Craftool Pro Super Shears". Item #:3050-00 On sale for $25.00, regularly $45-50.
I have 2 pairs of WISS.
I’m looking for a inexpensive pair for HYBRID Cloths.
Kind regards,
