Oddly I bought a Chinese chef knife to try out the different knife techniques as kind of a novelty and now use it for almost all my normal meal prep. I cannot say that I would recommend a $12 Winco knife for most people, but it is strange how habbits and style can take you to an entirely different direction in knife choice.

I had to cut polyester fabric with copper wrap around interference shielding and scissors were the best way to get a quick clean cut. If you already have the tool in hand, you'll use it for cutting wire too.

My understanding is that they were to round off any burrs from power box knock out holes. More like burnishing and deburring than removing large amounts of metal. Hell, it's cool you found a good use for it!

Just so that we are talking about the same scissors this is the electrician's scissors I have. It makes no mention of a comb and specifically refers to the outside edges as having a scraper/file.

Sadly I have never found the "file" on the back useful. I have a pair without the wire strippers and they were wonderful when cutting shielding for wires. If I had to use them all day I would probably look at the All-purpose version as it allows different grips like resting the large loop in your palm as you cut.
