While other companies make similar tools, we humbly submit that we make the best thread snips for safety. This comes down to our finger-friendly blade edge. Most traditional blades are made with metals that dull quickly. Even steel is a relatively soft material that dulls over time. To counteract this, manufacturers grind blade edges to excessively sharp levels. This workaround extends the life of the blade, but it sacrifices user safety.Traditional ceramic blades, although they are much harder than steel, are made with the same dangerously sharp grind. This puts the user at risk, especially when dexterity and fine motor control are at issue.Slice developed a proprietary method of grinding blade edges that shortens the initial cutting zone and disperses the cutting force over materials such as skin. Our blades, including all our ceramic scissors, start at an effective and safe sharpness, and stay there up to 11 times longer than metal blades.
