Glide provides a no tool adjustable glide technology for optimal cutting performance which allows less tension for thin materials and higher tension for thicker material. The Westcott CarboTitanium Bonded coating is 8x stronger than untreated stainless steel and will stay sharper longer. The CarboTitanium 8-inch scissor has a unique ergonomic over mold and high-strength handle. The Westcott CarboTitanium Bonded proprietary process creates a permanent molecular bond with the cutting surface so blades resist scratches, marks and stains. The blades will stay super sharp and smooth-cutting for years making them an exceptional value like all Westcott products.
