Professional Opinion
An offset handle, removable finger rest, and four sizes make the M1 easy to dial in as a daily all-purpose shear. The cobalt alloy blades are promoted as a workhorse build, which is exactly what a busy column of cuts asks of a main scissor.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe clean and dry after each service
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs to maintain the thumb-screw tension
- Schedule professional sharpening when glide begins to drag
