[Nhcoll-l] Question about vertebrate specimen preparation equipment

[Pedro A. Viegas]

Good day Elizabeth

    For the smaller jobs we usually only buy Titanium scissors, they are
very sharp and stay sharp for a long time (no need to resharpen after 4
years so far..)


    For the larger jobs the Aviation Snips or Sheet Metal Cutters will do
the trick and go through anything.


    Resharpening blades (knifes, scissors..) is also part of the deal when
purchasing them, so instead of buying new ones all the time, learning how
to sharpen them is a really good time investment.


 Best wishes
