KAI 1000 Series 1230ST tailoring scissors are built for long, clean strokes when cutting fabric at the table. This 9 in model uses corrosion-resistant SUS420J2 stainless steel blades rated 50 (±1) HRC, and the ergonomically designed black/gray handle uses elastomer for comfortable, secure control. Use on textiles, cloth, paper, or paperboard, then wipe dry and store closed to help protect the cutting edge.
