Dr. Slick 3.5-Inch Bent Shaft Arrow Scissors
A compact Arrow with straight serrated blades and a raised handle for easier pickup from a flat bench.
Description
The bend is in the shaft. It lifts the finger loops from the surface when you set the tool down. If you put your scissors down after every cut, this shape can make more difference than changing to a longer blade.
