Many Nic models exist twice, once in cobalt and once in stainless: series like WX come in both versions, with the cobalt build adding hardness and edge retention. The shear catalogue spans eleven cutting series, P1 and P55 thinners, and a Dry series for dry work; the four models run $549 to $999 at guide prices, 5.0 to 6.5 inches, stocked by Shear World and Tricut.
Product range
The line spans a wide set of named series rather than a single flagship. Cutting models include the WX, Try, Q, XF, Queen, King, STS, SR, Pop, LXA and JN series, several of them offered in both cobalt and stainless variants (for example WX Cobalt and WX Stainless, or XF Cobalt and XF Stainless). Thinning and texturising work is covered by the P1 and P55 series, with a dedicated Dry series for dry-cutting. The Queen Cobalt series is described in retailer listings as handmade.
Steel
Nic identifies model materials as Cobalt or Stainless. The cobalt-bearing models add hardness and edge retention, while the stainless variants serve the general-purpose lines. Retailer listings carry current material details for each model.
Where to buy
Nic shears are carried by Shear World and Tricut, both of which stock the full collection. For individual model specifications, blade lengths, pricing and current inventory, check the product pages on either retailer.
