The shears are "Wiss KV2" Kevlar shears. https://www.motioncanada.ca/productDetail.jsp?sku=02429538 is one place the may be found-- the shears are very basic, but work well for Kevlar cloth and mat. Mine are worn out, but I've had them for 10 years.
There are other newer designs, but essentially a serrated shear is appropriate for Kevlar. Noah's Marine carries a larger Kevlar shear; all of these shears are pretty costly.
The Kevlar bump-strips on these paddles are new rough-ins that are still curing; they'll be shaved down and covered in a smooth coat of G/flex. I'll post a photo when they're done.
