Televes scissors model 232310 OKS Kevlar — cutting tool for Kevlar and textile reinforcements

Televes OKS Kevlar scissors model 232310 are hand scissors designed for cutting Kevlar and other textile reinforcement materials used in cable manufacturing and repair. The tool delivers precise manual cutting of cable sheaths, aramid yarns and layered fabrics, with a blade and handle design intended for repetitive professional use in workshops and field environments.

Advantages

The scissors combine a hardened cutting edge with a blade geometry optimized for tough textile fibers, enabling controlled, straight cuts without excessive fraying. An ergonomic handle provides grip and reduces hand fatigue during repeated operations, while a corrosion-resistant finish contributes to longer service life in typical technical and workshop settings.

Suitable for

• Cutting Kevlar yarns and aramid-based reinforcements in cable assemblies
• Trimming textile layers and fabric reinforcements during cable repair
• Preparing cable sheaths and strength members for splicing or termination
• General workshop use where precision cutting of tough fibers is required

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual hand scissors for textile reinforcements
• Blade material: hardened cutting edge for high-strength fibers
• Handle: ergonomic grip designed for repeated use
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment suitable for workshop environments
• Intended materials: Kevlar, aramid yarns, textile reinforcements, cable sheaths

How to use

Position the scissors so the cutting edge meets the textile reinforcement at the desired cut point and apply steady manual pressure to execute a clean cut. For layered materials, make progressive cuts rather than forcing a single deep slice to maintain control and reduce fraying. Inspect the cut edge and, if necessary, trim any stray fibers with short controlled snips. Store the scissors in a dry place after use and keep the blade closed or secured to protect the edge.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting Kevlar and similar fibers, use moderate, steady force and avoid twisting motions that can cause uneven cuts. Regularly check the blade condition and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting performance degrades. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with high-tension fibers.
