Hi

I'm about to buy me a pair of scissors for cutting fabric.

I can see there are two different kinds available, one for Kevlar, and one for Carbon. Can you tell me where the difference is? Could I buy a Kevlar scissor, and use it for both materials? I', trying to keep this costly hobby a bit under control, the wishlist is still long..Smile

Thanks

Hi Hanaldo

Thanks a lot for your help, it makes sense.

I think I will go with the carbon scissors, for the moment will I only need to cut a little Kevlar.

Great tip about removing few fibers when cutting the hybrid fabric.

thanks
