Floordot 10 inch carpet shears with a high-carbon steel blade — carpet shears and heavy-duty tailors scissors in one tool. On a cleaning job they are for trimming sprouts and pulls flush with the pile; in carpet repair they trim tufts and edges cleanly.
The blades are made from high-quality high-carbon steel for cutting ability and durability, the knife edge sharpens easily on a stone, and the extra-wide, cushioned handle openings accommodate large hands comfortably.

What Shears Are for on a Cleaning Job
Sprouts and pulls. A single tuft standing above the pile after cleaning is not damage you caused — it was loose already and the wand lifted it — but it is what the customer sees. Shearing it flush takes seconds and closes the conversation.
Never pull a sprout. Pulling takes the row with it and turns a five-second fix into a repair.
Straight Shears or Napping Shears?
These are general-purpose shears for trimming. Where the cut must sit exactly level with the pile — a sprout in a prominent spot, or blending a repair — napping shears do it better: the duckbill blade lies flat on the carpet while curved handles keep your fingers above it. See the Duckbill Napping Shears.
Keep Them Dry
High-carbon steel takes and holds a fine edge, and it rusts. Dry them before they go back in the van. A light wipe of oil on the blades helps if they will sit unused for a while.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sharpen them myself?
Yes. The knife edge sharpens easily on a stone.
Why do they have spots of rust?
High-carbon steel rusts if it is put away wet. Dry the blades after every job; light surface rust can usually be removed and the edge touched up on a stone.
Can I use them for general cutting?
They double as heavy-duty tailors scissors. Keep them off wire, staples and hard materials, which will chip the edge.
