How to use

Students can compare the cutter builds in the cutting position, opening and closing each before work to check its action.

Read 58 HRC as an indentation-hardness number beside SUS440C. It is not a standalone measure of sharpness, toughness, corrosion resistance or edge life. Blades at the same hardness can behave differently because of heat treatment and geometry; assess the complete tools in hand.

Sharpening & Care

Tension can drift with ordinary use, temperature and humidity. If hair folds, bends or pushes after a close, clean and oil the pivot before running the drop test; that behaviour does not automatically call for sharpening.

If either tool falls onto a hard floor, stop cutting and keep its blades closed. Under strong light, look for an edge-line bright spot, a gap or twist, then close slowly and stop at any new catch without touching the edge.

A changed feel or sound after a drop needs professional inspection even when no damage is visible. Keep the other tool in its normal routine rather than forcing the affected pair back into service.

Built around your grip

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

Classic (opposing)Rings in line — the traditional grip; elbow rides high. Suits barbers trained on it. This pair
OffsetThumb ring forward, elbow drops — the modern professional default for all-day comfort. This pair

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
