Exhibiting at the Bead & Button Show was an eye opening experience in so many ways. Not the least of which was learning what kinds of challenges face beader weavers when trying to cut Fireline®. Fireline® is a braided, high strength fiber and if you’ve ever tried to cut it you will understand the frustration — it looks innocent enough, but it is abrasive and will dull the edges of a traditional scissor in no time.
Since Fireline® is primarily used by fisherman, it is reasonalbe to expect that they, too, have ruined scissors, fishing nippers and maybe even teeth trying to cut the stuff.
To the rescue — Xuron®’s Fireline® Scissor was developed and designed to cut the Kevlar® fiber portion of fiber optic cables and it is a natural solution for Fireline®. It cuts through it like butter, leaving clean, crisp ends. This tool is a dream come true for beaders and fishermen — two unlikely groups with a common frustration that can now be turned to joy.
