Etching Scissors

Etching scissors (Mineshima)

Precise modeling etching scissors from the Japanese manufacturer Mineshima. They are designed for cutting photo-etched parts out of the fret cleanly and precisely, without the fine parts bending or deforming. The blades cope well with the thin metal sheet and wire used in modeling. The tool is made in Japan.

Use

• For cutting photo-etched parts out of the etched fret without bending the parts.
• They cope with thin metal materials — tin and aluminum sheet, copper and brass wire in the usual modeling thicknesses.
• The narrowed tips give access even to the small tabs between the parts.
• After work wipe the blades and protect them from moisture, so that they do not corrode.

Who they are for

For modelers who work with photo-etched parts and want to separate them cleanly and without damage. The scissors also suit cutting thin sheet metal and wire while building models and accessories. You will appreciate them above all in detailed work where a knife or ordinary scissors deform the parts.

This is a working tool, not a model kit. Protect the blades and keep them dry.
