From the Tim Holtz blog . . .

"I'm excited to announce the release of a product that's been over 3 years in the making -- my new 9.5" shears are designed just like my popular "red handled" snips which include the same kush-grip handles and micro-serrated non-stick titanium blades that make them the ideal craft tool.  Just like the snips, they cut cardstock, chipboard, grungeboard, craft wire and metals, ribbon, and of course fabric like a dream.  The best feature is the overall blade length and width has increased!"

See comparison photo below to see the difference between the original snips and these new scissors!
