The Ripley Miller KS-1 is a fiber prep staple: lightweight shears purpose-built for cutting the Kevlar® strength members inside fiber optic cable construction. One micro-serrated blade grips the slick aramid yarn so it shears clean instead of sliding out of the jaws, and the high carbon molybdenum and vanadium steel blades hold their edge through months of daily prep work.
The ergonomic molded handles are comfortable for both right- and left-handed users, and the included nylon pouch rides on a belt with an easy snap button, keeping the shears with your splice kit instead of loose in the bag.
