I ended up buying a bucket of screw drivers. Not Off topic.

Turned out to be scissors. Whole bunch of Wiss scissors. I use scissors all the time in my small shop. They are also etched with the word "Inlaid". Now that I have actually used them I like them. Over the chinese crap? Yeah. These guys are used up and still eat. JR

Metal urgy.. Read this one. "The physical metallurgy of precipitation-hardenable stainless steels (Battelle Memorial Institute. Defense Metals Information Center, DMIC report)

I only say this because these scissors are of some type of stainless/ Battelle JR

If you sharpen them, they won't be used up any more!

[JoeLee]

Inlaid was what they called their mfg. process. I don't remember exactly what that process was.

I thought it might be the side they cut on (inlaid) like tin snips have a left and a right but guess not...

Not stainless steel, high carbon.

They were used in the carbon fiber industry. They have some residue of what looks like epoxy. Trying to figure out what to soak them in then give a good sharpening to them. Acetone has not worked. JR

If that's epoxy and acetone didn't work, good luck getting it off... methyl isobutyl ketone is supposed to work if it's just the resin, if it's the hardener then soapy water and a scrub brush is supposed to work, according to West

You might try putting heat to it gently and the epoxy should pop.

Might be a poly resin.

Right. Thats what I would have thought they should be made of. Nice hardenable steel for the cutting edge. They dont oxidize though, thats why I thought SS.. Could be chromed? But not even the cutting edges (which would not be chromed) dont oxidize. JR

Most of them are hard chromed.

Until the first time that they're sharpened.

I am left handed and the only tools that I need to be lefthanded are scissors. I can recommend the superb Fiskars brand, made in Finland.
