How to use

Students can practise the cutting and thinning roles with two tools of the same length.

An offset handle places the thumb ring nearer the pivot than the finger ring, reducing the thumb travel needed to open and close the blades. Working posture still depends on grip, task, fit and station.

Convex geometry shows a poor tension setting quickly: a loose pair can fold hair, while an over-tight ride line drags. Stop and check the affected tool.

Sharpening & Care

Polished steel can mark when colour, bleach, developer or perm solution sits on it. Wipe a splash from either tool on contact, then rinse and dry when the product label directs.

Once cleaning and drying are complete, place a drop or two of maker-approved scissor oil at the pivot. Open and close that pair several times, then remove excess from the faces without drawing the cloth along the edge.

Treat the cutter and thinner as separate mechanisms during maintenance. A hard catch is a reason to stop; do not force oil through the joint.

Never case a damp pair. A closed case holds water and chemical residue against the steel, so the blades and the pivot are dried completely before the scissors go back in the case.

Built around your grip

The handle decides how your wrist, elbow and shoulder feel at 6pm.

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.
