1. Akiko ASAM-N Precision Cut Hair Scissors. The Akiko ASAM-N uses Hitachi 440C steel — a high-carbon stainless alloy consistent across the Akiko range — ground to a slim, narrow convex profile. The narrower blade geometry reduces the visual bulk through the cut and suits point cutting and fine detail work where a standard-width blade can obscure the cutting line.

The ASAM-N is the precision cut model in the Akiko catalogue, featuring Japanese Hitachi 440C steel with a convex edge, available exclusively through Scissor Warrior. Guide prices are at time of writing; confirm current figures and availability directly with the brand or its authorised retailers.
