These alloys include vanadium, molybdenum and titanium and deliver a soft, silky cut with edges that start sharper and stay sharp longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workmanship<\/strong> \u2013 Quality shears are hand-forged, hand-sharpened and hand-polished. They have Japanese-style convex hollow ground blades.\u00a0 The handles are individually welded to the blades.\u00a0 This gives you a shear with superb balance and alignment that makes cutting easier and more precise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design <\/strong>\u2013 Shears are designed to be beautiful as well as functional. When checking out a pair of shears, pay particular attention to the handles.\u00a0 Are they ergonomically designed?\u00a0 Are the finger holes anatomically shaped to fit your fingers?\u00a0 Are the grips offset?\u00a0 These three features combine to allow you to work with less tension and avoid fatigue or injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guarantees <\/strong>\u2013 Do the shears you\u2019re considering have a Limited Lifetime Warranty and a \u201cno-questions-asked\u201d Money-back Guarantee?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lastly, consider the price.\u00a0 Many of the \u201c100% Made In Japan\u201d shears that meet the above criteria cost between $350 and $2200.\u00a0 You can, however, find this same kind of quality in a more reasonably priced scissor.<\/p>\n<p>TopEdge Shears is proud to point out that every one of our shears meet or exceed the standards of quality set down above. \u00a0We sell only through the Internet to save you money.\u00a0 Give us a try; we\u2019d very much like to be your shear company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/TopEdge-\u2013-Sword-Blade-design-close.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pa9WYy-Oz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3135"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3136,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3135\/revisions\/3136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/topedgeshears.com\/website_09692745\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
