5.5 inches, with a tension screw you can actually set.

  • Japanese stainless steel blades, SUS440C equivalent
  • Micro precision ground edges for clean cuts wet or dry
  • Offset handle to reduce strain through long sessions
  • Adjustable tension screw for the blade feel you prefer

Wet or dry is the other thing worth reading in that list. Some scissors that cut beautifully on wet hair push dry hair around instead, and a micro ground edge is what keeps the behaviour consistent between the two.

Tension is the setting most people never touch and then wonder why their scissors fold hair instead of cutting it. Too loose and the blades push the section aside. Too tight and the action drags while the edge wears faster. Being able to adjust it means the pair stays right as it beds in rather than going off over a year.

SUS440C is the steel grade to look for at this price. Hard, holds an edge, and resists corrosion in a wet salon.

Application tips

Five and a half inches is a thumb and two fingers tool, so keep the grip loose. Rest the ring finger in its hole rather than gripping through it, and let the little finger sit on the rest.

Dry the blades immediately after a wet cut. Water left sitting on the pivot is what eventually puts a spot on Japanese steel, hard-wearing as it is.

Results

A detailing length. Short enough to work around an ear, a fringe or a nape without the tips wandering, and sharp enough that hair parts rather than folds.

The offset handle drops the elbow, which is the thing that keeps a wrist working past lunchtime. The tension screw lets you dial the feel in, so one pair suits a heavy blunt line and a light point cut.

Composition

Japanese Stainless Steel
Hard, corrosion resistant steel that holds an edge through daily salon use
