What is 2CR13 stainless steel
2CR13, also called 20Cr13, is a martensitic stainless steel under the Chinese standard. It is equivalent to AISI 420 and the European X20Cr13.
Composition: About 12 to 14 percent chromium and about 0.2 percent carbon
What it gives: Good resistance to rust in everyday use, and a blade that can be hardened and sharpened
Why it's common in scissors: A good balance of sharpness, durability and ease of processing, so it is common in home and office scissors
In multi-purpose scissors like this model, it is a suitable choice for paper, thin cardboard and light fabrics. For professional fabric cutting, dedicated tailor's shears are better suited.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the length and weight of the scissors?
The total length is 21.5 cm and the weight is 89 g.
What is 2CR13 stainless steel?
It is a stainless steel common in scissors and knives for everyday use, resistant to rust and easy to maintain.
What are the scissors suitable for?
For paper, thin cardboard, ribbons, threads and light fabrics, in the office, at home and in craft work.
In which colors do the scissors come?
Green and blue.
Can I cut fabric for sewing with them?
Light fabrics, yes. For cutting patterns and thick fabrics, tailor's shears are better, and keep these for paper and templates.
Are the scissors suitable for cutting pattern paper?
Yes. The 21.5 cm length gives a long, continuous cutting line along the pattern lines, so the professional fabric scissors are kept for fabric only.
Can I cut cardboard with them?
Thin cardboard and bristol board - yes. Thick corrugated cardboard may bend the blades, so it is better to cut it with a utility knife.
What is the difference between these and the lightweight sewing scissors with a cover?
DE XIAN K19 are intended for multi-purpose use - paper, thin cardboard and light fabric - and come without a cover. The lightweight sewing scissors come with a matching protective cover and are intended mainly for fabric.
How do you care for the colored screw?
Wipe the screw area of dirt and glue residue and occasionally add a drop of oil. If the blades loosen over time, tighten the screw slightly.
Can I order a quantity for a class or an office?
Yes. The scissors suit sewing and craft classes, offices and schools, and for bulk orders you can contact us.
