Engineer PH‑97 is a high-precision multifunctional scissor, made in Japan, designed for efficient cutting of a wide range of materials – from cables and cords to leather, foil, packaging, or even thin sheet metal. It stands out with a robust design, excellent ergonomics, and a generous set of integrated functions.
🧰 Main Features
4‑in‑1 Blade Design:
Combines a straight cutting edge for general materials (paper, fabric), a micro-serrated area for secure grip, a special wire cutting zone, and a "cutter"-type blade for opening boxes.
Integrated wire cutter:
Allows cutting copper or soft steel wires without switching tools.
Ergonomic-safe construction:
S-shaped handles efficiently transfer force, and the special guards prevent pinching skin between the blades. The ventilated protective cap and anti-slip surface enhance safety.
Stainless steel blades:
Ensure clean cuts, rust resistance, and long-lasting sharpness.
