PATTERN SHEARS remove a small strip from your paper pattern to allow for the heart of the lead, or the foil on the edge of your glass. Choose from shears by Mika International, Fan Out, and Inland. Mika shears feature patented extra hard stainless steel blades designed to cut cleanly, right to the tip of the shears. 

Mika shears are sturdy and sharp enough to cut card stock. All shears have comfortable molded plastic handles. Mika shears are recommended for serious studio work and Inland shears are an economical choice for beginners.
