Product Description
-------------------
The Slice 10546 Ceramic Scissors (Pointed) combine the best of
our original 10544 scissors—our finger-friendly safety blade and
a comfort grip lining—with new features like wider finger loops
for larger hands and a pointed tip. Some materials, such as
flexible plastics and woven fabrics, require a puncturing motion
to initiate cuts in the middle of the material (as sed to
cuts that originate at the edge). These pointed scissors do just
that. With the same durable construction that made the 10544
Slice scissors popular, the 10546 pointed scissors’ blades last
up to 11 times longer than metal blades, and are non-conductive,
easy to clean, and never rust.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Why Ceramic Blades? Hardness & Sharpness.
On the Mohs hardness scale, Metal blades are rated 5.5 vs.
Ceramic blades at 8.2, second only to diamonds. Harder edges
maintain sharpness longer, cut better, and require replacement
far less frequently. In fact, depending on use, you can go weeks
or months without having to replace a single ceramic blade. They
also last up to 10x longer!
Saving Money Just Makes Sense. A single Slice ceramic blade is
equivalent up to 10 high-end double-sided metal blades or up to
20 high-end single sided metal blades. In terms of safety, less
blade changes also mean less risk of injury.
Small Ceramic Scissors Slice 10544 Ceramic Scissors bring our
proprietary finger-friendly grind to safety scissors. Used in
industrial, institutional, and educational settings alike, these
lightweight scissors are ambidextrous and durable. Soft-touch
finger grips line their tough glass-filled nylon handles for the
ideal mix of strength and comfort. As with all our ceramic
blades, these are non-sparking and ly inert.
Cut many types of materials. Our scissors cut materials
effectively and they resist cutting skin. Some materials, such as
flexible plastics and woven fabrics, require a puncturing motion
to initiate cuts in the middle of the material (as sed to
cuts that originate at the edge). These pointed scissors do just
that.
Pointed Ceramic Scissors The Slice 10546 Ceramic Scissors
(Pointed) combine the best of our original 10544 scissors—our
finger-friendly safety blade and a comfort grip lining—with new
features like wider finger loops for larger hands and a pointed
tip. With the same durable construction that made the 10544 Slice
scissors popular, the 10546 pointed scissors’ blades last up to
11 times longer than metal blades, and are non-conductive, easy
to clean, and never rust.
Our safety is in the blade When industrial safety managers first
encounter our products, they try to compare them with existing
safety knives, but Slice tools are in a class of their own. While
other manufacturers redesigned their handles for safety,
we're the only company that redesigned the blade itself.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Safe. Elegant. Innovative.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Slice has a commitment to donate 1% of all sales to fund Autism
research, primarily through our main benefactor, Lucile Packard
Children's Hospital Stanford University.
What makes your product special?
Our proprietary blade manufacturing process combines a unique
sharpening angle and thicker ceramic material, resulting in a
very unique patented blade that’s safer to the touch vs. metal,
and requires pressure to initiate the cut — via our handles.
Hence, general blade handling and blade-replacement with Slice
ceramic blades is infinitely safer vs. those same activities with
traditional metal blades, yet still allows for a wide range of
cutting applications.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
You can’t simply duplicate a metal blade in ceramic material and
achieve what we have created with our current products. There’s a
tremendous a of engineering required on not only the blades
and handles individually, but there’s also an incredible a
of engineering required on the combination of the handles and the
blades working together in order to produce the desired balance
of safer-usage and cutting capability. Even today, for our next
generation of products that are currently under development, we
spend the majority of our time finding the right balance between
handle and blade through trial and error and what seems like
endless prototypes. The best part definitely has to be seeing
peoples first-time reactions when cutting cardboard with Slice
and they realize how awesome the Slice ceramic blade is.
