These Tronex Razor Flush Cutters are arguably some of the best cutters in the industry, and are specifically mentioned in Liz Jones' book "Jewelry Studio: Silver Wire Fusing" as her favorite pair of flush cutters for thinner gauges of wire (20 gauge and thinner).

The following is copied directly from Tronex - a description of their Razor Flush®
There is no bevel on either cutting edge. The backside, or printed circuit board side, is absolutely flat at an angle of 45 degrees to the plane of the cutting surfaces. The exceptionally sharp edges produce cuts with virtually no raised surface on the lead. (Under a loupe you can see a line on the lead where the edges come together but you will not see a "pinch"). Also, minimum shock is imparted to the cut lead or component. However, more frequent sharpening is required with a Razor Flush® cutter. The Razor Flush® edge finish on Tronex cutters is executed by a proprietary process and thus unmatched by any other precision cutting tool in the world. It is also the edge finish selected for almost all specialty cutters (tip cutters and angulated cutters) made by Tronex.

Almost all shear cutters are devices with only coarse cutting ability and very limited tool life. This is because the cutting edges do not really meet together for a fine, accurate cut. They pass by each other, moving in planes that are close but separate. Cutting edge motion stops when the two handles come together. This is the action of the stamped cutter. It is also the action of the paper scissors and the garden shears. Effective on large wire and for light usage. When the rivet joint loosens the hand shear must be discarded. Also, since the edges are only case hardened, a dull or worn stamped cutter can not be resharpened. Stamped shears also impart considerable shock and leave a significant pinch reflecting the clearance between the two edges.

There are exceptions to the common variety hand cutting shear. They are the Tronex cutter models 7030 and 5030. They are precision tools made with interlocking threaded joints and heat treated cutting edges. The Tronex standoff shear cutters are designed with a cutting ridge mounted on a stationary leg. The leg is placed next to the lead being cut. A sharpened and hardened cutting edge is then moved through the lead and over the cutting ridge. These versatile tools use the shear cutting principle in order to achieve a predetermined lead length (or "standoff") to insure that components or solder joints below the lead are not damaged.
