Nice one, bro'! My Mini-Surge project has been pushed deep into January. Will most likely do the same mod on the scissors.
love the mod, and love the pics! do you think the asymmetric blades improved the cutting performance, or was the improvement just due to the new edge you put on the scissor blades? do you think it would have been the same improvement if you had taken a small amount of material off of both blades? what if you just filed both sides?so many questions! I suppose I should just try some of these myself. nice work, my friend.
And that is it really. My last hack for 2014. I hope you all enjoyed the pics.

I think the improvement comes from the reduced cutting angle.I didn't change the grind at all.I would recommend taking a little off both sides like I had originally planned.

(hopefully soon... I have plans, just haven't found time yet...)

What kind and size line were you trying to cut?
