Jonard JIC-186 Kevlar Ergonomic Fiber Optic Cutter, 6" Length

These are great for cutting fiber. Nice clean cut. I'm glad I purchased them.

These are fantastic. You don’t know how bad you need these u til you try cutting Kevlar and dyneema with regular cutters. These are razor sharp and have grippy teeth and a lot of leverage. Together those three features make them perfect for their intended purpose. Just don’t use them for anything else!!! Really!!!

These have been amongst my trusted tools for a few years now. Still sharp and reliable. Highly recommend.

I do rope eye splicing in double braid rope such as Samson Stable Braid and Sterling Kraken ropes as well as in hollow braid UHMWPE ropes such as Dyneema and Spectra. Being able to easily cut the fibers in these ropes is essential in a good clean splice. These scissors are priced below their quality. The blades have very fine serrations that allow the successful cuts in these tough fibers.

Quality product! I am planning on recommending them to co-workers and would definitely buy them again.

Excellent deal, works great extra sharp!

These aren't the best Kevlar sheers on the market, but they are far from the worst. I prefer these of the Fiskars RazorEdge shears that are very common in the Fiber splicing world. I think the Clauss are a little better, but these beat them in price. The Fiskars and Clauss cut Kevlar a little better, but these handle thicker items like Tie Wraps much better than the Fiskars. The handle allows higher leverage than the Clauss model that I find handier. In the past I have used these to easily cut anything from kevlar to 5 pair copper service wire. Now that I am strictly a fiber splicer, these are used mostly for dressing fiber cables (48 count to 432 count) and zip ties. I deduced 1 star as they do not quite cut Kevlar as well as the Fiskars and Clauss shears. However, these do still work very well.

Great sharpness, thick blades & nice rubbery coating. Haven't yet cut something super thick & will update if they don't hold true. Only con is the finger holes feel a bit too small for adult fingers and mine aren't huge. Still useable despite that but might be a problem if used iver a long period of time.

Rien à redire fait son travail

Muy buenas

I bought a roll of Zing-It cord to make guylines for my tents and tarps. I have various scissors and cutters and I certainly have no trouble cutting the Zing-It, but the cuts are almost never clean, and they require multiple cuts with the scissors, or sawing motions with the cutters. This Jonard JIC-186 Kevlar Ergonomic Fiber Optic Cutter snips right through the Zing-It as if it were nothing more than a piece of fishing line, and the cut is always clean. I have some 2.3mm uhmwpe (same as Dyneema) cord coming soon, which promises to pose more of a challenge to the scissors. I will update once I've tried to cut through it.

Highly recommended…
