  • Page 25 Cast: Casting is metal poured into molds while heated to a liquid state. Many of the beauty shears from Taiwan are cast. Ceramic: Ceramic is a porcelain like material, (usually with a high alumina content), pressed from a powder and fused at a high temperature. Ceramics are very hard and have a long wear life, but are also brittle and subject to breakage and chipping.
  • Page 26 Forged: Forged shears are stamped to shape while the metal is red hot (soft). This produces high carbon shears that are good to high quality. Most large tailor and industrial shears are made this way. Free Fall: Free fall is the measurement of how far the scissors close while holding one blade tip pointed up and letting the other handle drop.
  • Page 27 Ice: This is a metal hardening process. Stainless steel is heated to almost 2000 F and then cooled to about -100 F. All quality shears are ice tempered, even if not marked. Left Hand Shears: True left hand shears have the blade reversed. The thumb blade is on the right hand side of the finger blade.
  • Page 28 Set: The set of the scissors is the amount of gap between the blades. With the blades closed, only the tips and the ride actually touch.
