Cutter - Indian

Ref: IndCut

We have introduced a new range of LOW COST but very good value cutters and pliers from India.
A simple test of performance is to cut a piece of paper cleanly - it does that!

They may not last as long as the qualty 'CEKA' cutters ref 91-001 but you can buy several pairs of these for the cost of one CEKA cutter !
