Munix GL-2185 SS Scissors

The Kangaro Munix GL-2185 is a 216mm (8.5") all-purpose stainless steel scissor built for workshops that need one reliable pair of shears for everything from trimming leather straps and lacing to cutting cardboard templates, packing tape, and thread. It sits at the main workbench because it handles a wide range of everyday cutting jobs without the price tag of a dedicated leathercraft tool.

The blades are made from Moly Vanadium stainless steel with a curved cutting edge that applies even force along the length of the cut, giving a smoother, cleaner line when trimming skived edges or cutting thin to medium leather. A heavy-duty pivot screw keeps the blades aligned for consistent cutting over time, the round safety tip reduces the chance of an accidental poke on a busy bench, and the shock-resistant PBT plastic handle is shaped for a comfortable grip through long cutting sessions.

About Moly Vanadium Stainless Steel

Moly Vanadium stainless steel is a stainless alloy strengthened with molybdenum and vanadium, added to improve hardness and edge retention compared to plain stainless steel. It's a common choice for scissors and blades that need to stay sharp through frequent daily use while still resisting rust and corrosion.

A Great Budget Leather-Cutting Choice

Dedicated leathercraft shears usually cost quite a bit more than a general-purpose scissor like this one. The GL-2185's curved blades cut cleanly through thin and medium leather, garment leather, and leather cord, making it a sensible everyday pick for pattern work, straps, and trims where reaching for a leather knife or rotary cutter would be overkill. It can also cut through leather up to about 4mm thick, though at that thickness it takes noticeably more effort and isn't the most comfortable cutting experience, so a dedicated leather knife or strap cutter is still the better tool for repeated heavy cuts.

This scissor can cut leather up to about 4mm thick, but expect more resistance and a less comfortable cutting experience at that thickness; a dedicated leather knife or strap cutter is a better fit for repeated heavy cuts.
