Questions
Question
Is it possible to sharpen the blade on these or do you just have to buy another one?
Answer
Sharpening nippers may improve near term effectiveness at the cost of shortening the tool's lifespan. There are youtube tutorials on how to do it.

Question
Can these nippers cut hard clear plastic (Such as the clear plastic on the destroy mode Unicorn Gundam) and rubbery plastic (Like beam sabers)?
Answer
Yes to both. As long as the gates are under 3mm across and you don’t use the blade tip to cut harder plastics, you shouldn’t have any issues. Always make perpendicular cuts as side cuts puts undue stress on the blade and may cause it to snap.

Question
Is the sleeve that comes with this real leather? If is is there any way to get it without the sleeve?
Answer
Of course… not? The SPN-120 doesn’t come in any other packaging.

Learn how to use them first
Do not buy these for your first 20 kits, I didn't get them for my first 20 years.
Read all the instructions, watch the videos.
There is a specific way and place for a blade to be used, position right, cut right.
Tools when misused will break. Tools when used proper will last long.
Blades should only be used to cut material they are meant to.
Never "try something" with these, they are only for removing gates.
Get good optics and lighting, glasses, magnifying lenses, and lots of good lights.
It is a very tactile and rewarding experience, they have a great weight and balance.
The spring-back is nice, the close is soft and not clampy.

Smooth cutting
These are the smoothest cutters I've ever used, leave hardly nothing left after the cut.
