Product Description Fiskars-Amplify RazorEdge Fabric Scissors. These scissors cuts thick fabrics that other scissors cannot. Amplify technology senses blade separation when cutting thick materials and forces the blades back together for crisp, clean cuts every time. The floating blade tang allows the transfer of energy to the torsion bar which adjusts the blade to its optimal angle. This package contains one pair of 10 inch long fabric scissors and one protective sheath.
