What does “T/C Insert” mean and how do I identify it?
T/C stands for Tungsten Carbide. These scissors feature carbide blades that are significantly harder than standard stainless steel, allowing them to stay sharp up to six times longer. You can identify them by their distinctive gold-plated ring handles.
