FAQs
Can these scissors be used on fabrics?
Yes, they are excellent for cutting various fabrics, especially when using fusible interfacings or adhesive-backed materials.
How do I sharpen the blades?
Due to the specialized black anti-adhesive coating, we recommend using a professional sharpener or hone to avoid damaging the finish.
Are these scissors left-hand friendly?
While the ergonomic handles are comfortable, they are primarily designed for right-handed use; left-handed users may find the blade alignment less intuitive.
Should I oil the blades?
You can occasionally apply a light lubricant to the pivot point, but keep heavy oils away from the cutting edge to avoid staining materials.
What materials should I avoid cutting?
Avoid cutting wire, sheet metal, or abrasive grit materials, as these will dull the precision ground edge and scratch the black coating.
Troubleshooting
Scissors are cutting roughly or tearing material
Check the blades for dried adhesive residue and clean with a damp cloth; if the edge is clean, ensure the tension screw has not loosened.
Blades feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a tiny amount of lightweight machine oil to the pivot screw area and work the blades back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These scissors are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of the Shurglide blades, avoid using them on metallic surfaces, wire, or extremely abrasive materials that could compromise the proprietary black coating. After each use, wipe the blades down with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any adhesive residue or dust. Do not submerge the scissors in water for extended periods; instead, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one to prevent corrosion. Store in a dry, safe place using a protective sheath or blade guard if available to protect the precision-ground edge.
