Are Those Scissors Sharp?

Here's a quick and easy way to test your scissors for sharpness. The Latex Free Scissor Test is a 4.5-inch wide, 6-yard roll available in 2 thicknesses: a yellow roll to test scissor blade lengths less than 4.5 inches and a red roll to test scissor blade lengths more than 4.5 inches. How it works: You unroll to the desired length and make a minimum of 2 cuts in the test material. The scissors should cut all the way through to the top of the scissor without catching or snagging.
