These hobby scissors can cut everything from decals (water transfer marks) to etched metal parts. The bent tip is an excellent scissors for cutting out circular objects. Once you get used to them, you can also cut out straight lines. The short tip of the blade makes them ideal for cutting out small parts. This single pair of scissors will improve your cutting work in model making, and if you also have the Hobby Scissors Straight Type (sold separately), you can create an even better working environment. These are metal model scissors, so please refrain from cutting anything other than thin soft metal.
