Are Those Scissors Sharp?
Here's a quick and easy way to test your scis-
sors for sharpness. The Latex Free Scissor
Test is a 4.5-inch wide, 6-yard roll available in
2 thicknesses: a yellow roll to test scissor
blade lengths less than 4.5 inches and a red
roll to test scissor blade lengths more than 4.5
inches. How it works: You unroll to the desired
length and make a minimum of 2 cuts in the
test material. The scissors should cut all the
way through to the top of the scissor without
catching or snagging.
