Ichiro Ergo Apprentice cutting scissors use Japanese stainless alloy at 56–58 HRC with an offset handle and mirror polish. The 5.5" build has a convex edge, while the 6.0" build has a micro-serrated edge; buyers choose the paired size and edge together.
Ichiro Ergo Apprentice cutting scissors use Japanese stainless alloy at 56–58 HRC, with an offset handle and mirror polish. The 5.5" build carries a convex edge for slicing, while the 6.0" build uses a micro-serrated edge that holds hair through the close.
The fine serrations on the 6.0" build stop hair being pushed towards the tip. That grip resists sliding.
HRC records hardness under a standardised test. Read the 56–58 HRC figure alongside the alloy and each build's edge rather than as a measure of sharpness, toughness, corrosion resistance or edge life.
