What are the best scissors to cut rubber?

For our table tennis shop, we use scalpels and change blades for every 2 to 4 cuts.
We will test cut on the corner to make sure the blade is still sharp before going for the cut.

For myself, I just use a scissors.
Some brands do sell scissors, which has a curve out shape, and easier to cut neatly.
I just use any random sharp scissors.

the best result I'm having with surgery scissors. Made to cut the skin during surgery, so a very sharp.

Quality brand of tool there, Unker Gozo. I use a scalpel, but those look interesting. Are the blades curved? Do you have the model name or number?

I use a scalpel

Have you tried Swann Morton blades? Do you manage to cut in one go, or take multiple passes?

Also Kai and Canary are good brands, take a look at this bad boy

In the order of preference:
1. Any sharp disposable blade (scalpel, box cutter, hobby knife, shaver, etc.)
2. Specialized tt scissors with high bevel (better if curved)
3. If one has to resort to office scissors which usually have very low bevel, there is a trick not to leave overlap - using scissors for lefties if you are right-handed or holding regular ones with a left hand (I must say the latter maneuver is too tricky for me)

I also just use scalpels now.

Just a heads-up for anyone using a scalpel or a cutter - when you cut, do it on a piece of glass if you want a clear cut. I just used a cutting mat and almost ruined my rubber due to the scalpel going deep into the mat, going astray, and being very hard to correct.

In other news, I just received this one from Ali Express and it cuts through the rubber like butter.
The green one (160) - the price when I ordered was around $3.

Do you have any recommendations for left-handed scissors?

I like the conair from Walmart. They have patterns on the handles. Not the Grey handle ones
