Juntetsu Rose Limited Edition Thinning Scissors

• Features

The Juntetsu Rose Thinning Scissor is a limited edition 6.0 inch Japanese VG-10 thinner with a 42-tooth blade and a 25 to 30 percent cut ratio. It carries the signature rose tension screw and a 3D offset handle, and is built for right-handed blending and weight removal.

• Description

The Rose Thinning Scissor is the blending partner to the Rose cutting scissor, sharing the same rose tension screw, polished finish and 3D offset handle. It is made for stylists who want controlled, even blending with a scissor that has a little artistry to it.

A limited edition, hand-tested in Japan

Each pair is tested by an expert craftsperson in Japan before it ships, checked for edge, balance and smooth action. As a limited edition, it is made in smaller numbers than the core range.

The 42-tooth blade and 25 to 30 percent cut ratio

The 42-tooth blade is designed to remove around a quarter to a third of the hair caught in each pass. That cut ratio makes it a versatile blender, enough to reduce weight and break up bulk, while staying controlled enough for soft, even transitions through the mid-lengths and ends. Build the effect up with repeat passes to dial in the result.

VG-10 steel and a convex cutting edge

VG-10 is a Japanese high-carbon stainless steel valued for edge retention and corrosion resistance, hardened here to around 60-61 HRC. The solid blade carries a hand-honed convex edge that meets the toothed blade cleanly, so hair is caught and released smoothly without pushing or bending.

3D offset ergonomics

The 3D offset handle is contoured so the thumb and fingers sit in a natural, relaxed position, which lowers the wrist and thumb strain that build up over a long shift, with a finger rest to steady longer sessions.

• Frequently asked questions

What does the 25 to 30 percent cut ratio mean?
It is roughly how much of the hair caught between the blades is removed in a single pass. At 25 to 30 percent this is a versatile blender for reducing weight and softening bulk, rather than a heavy bulk remover or a very fine finisher.

What is it best used for?
Blending sections, reducing weight and softening density through the mid-lengths and ends.

What makes this a limited edition?
It features the signature rose tension screw and is made in smaller numbers than the core range, with each pair hand-tested in Japan before it ships.

Is this scissor available for left-handed stylists?
This model is built as a right-handed scissor. If you need a true left-handed pair, contact our team before ordering and we will let you know the current options.

How do I care for it?
Wipe the blades clean and dry after each client and add a drop of scissor oil at the pivot regularly. Have the convex edge sharpened only by a sharpener trained on textured and convex blades.

Where is it made?
The Rose Thinning Scissor is made in Japan from Japanese VG-10 steel.

Japanese scissor steels trade hardness for resilience. Higher-carbon alloys such as VG-10 hold a razor edge longer between services; cobalt alloys add corrosion resistance and a silky closing action; 440C is the proven workhorse — tough, forgiving and easy to maintain. Hardness is measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC): most professional Japanese scissors sit between 58 and 62 HRC.

Wipe the blades dry after every cut. Oil the pivot weekly with a drop of scissor oil, open and close gently, and store dry in the case. Avoid cutting anything but hair — and book a professional service if the edge ever pushes or folds.
