Ichiro Matte Black thinning scissors are 6.0" 440C stainless steel thinners at 58–60 HRC, with V-groove standard thinning teeth, a convex edge and offset handle. Left-handed salon stylists can choose the same 6.0" V-groove thinning format as right-handed stylists.

At 6.0", Ichiro Matte Black thinning scissors use a V-groove standard thinning format in left- and right-handed builds. The 440C stainless steel is hardened to 58–60 HRC, with a convex edge, offset handle and matte black finish.

Each close selects strands held by the toothed blade and leaves the rest, removing weight within the section while preserving the established outline. V-groove teeth change how hair is captured and released, so placement still decides the finish.

The chosen thinner arrives with a reusable cushioned box, care guide, maintenance cloth and tension key. Japanese tsubaki shear oil accompanies silicone finger inserts and a cleaning brush in the bonus maintenance kit.

  • No second length is available in either handed build

How to use

This 6.0" thinner combines V-groove standard thinning teeth with a convex edge, offset handle and matte black 440C stainless steel at 58–60 HRC. Choose the left or right build that matches the cutting hand.

The toothed blade selects strands held between its teeth, taking weight from within the section while leaving the established outline. The pattern does not supply a fixed removal rate.

V-groove changes capture and release, yet placement remains decisive. Enter away from the root and inside the outline, close once, comb through and look before considering another pass; stacked closes can create a visible step.

Tooth count by itself cannot predict removal because width, spacing, profile and blade arrangement all matter. Use a test section as the reference for this pair, and stop if the action pulls, folds or closes unevenly.

Sharpening & Care

Clear hair and product from between the V-groove teeth with the soft cleaning brush, keeping fingertips away from the cutting surfaces. Cleaning, disinfecting, drying and oiling remain separate steps.

Route a left build back to the maker or to a sharpener whose experience with left-handed geometry is verified. Changing a screw, finger rest or handle position cannot turn a right-handed blade stack into a left-handed one.

Toothed blades need a sharpener who preserves tooth geometry as well as the plain edge. Ask before handing over the thinner, especially where grooves must remain intact.

A convex edge goes only to a sharpener who works convex scissor geometry on water-cooled scissor equipment, or back to the maker. Never home-hone a convex edge: a stone, a strop or a knife sharpener flattens the hollow inner face and the ride line, and once that geometry is ground away it does not come back.

Built around your grip

How this pair cuts

Edge geometry decides technique — and maintenance.

Convex 蛤刃 hamaguri-ba Razor edge for slide and wet cutting, designed for a quiet, low-resistance cut. This pair
Semi-convex Sharp yet forgiving — the versatile all-rounder, easier to maintain than full convex. This pair
Bevelled 段刃 dan-ba Durable workhorse edge with audible feedback — suits blunt cutting and training. This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba Ridged spine adds power through thick, dry sections and scissor-over-comb work. This pair
Convex edges need specialist sharpening: a standard grind can flatten the profile. Use a sharpener experienced with convex scissor blades.
