hand cutting
Slicing by blade
Hand cutting is the process of cutting materials by hand rather than by machine—whether fabric with scissors, gemstones with manual tools, or film with a razor blade.
The term emphasizes craftsmanship and precision: The tailor insisted on hand cutting every pattern piece.
Hand-cut products often command premium prices for their artisanal quality.
