    Fitz FO/FX Thinning Scissors

    • Offset handle
    • Thinning (35-tooth, inferred from model) blade

    The Fitz FO-35 and FX-35 are thinning shears with offset handles. The “35” in the model code points to a 35-tooth blade — confirm the exact tooth count with Takano Canada before purchase, as the number is inferred from the model designation rather than a published spec.

    • Thinning blade

    The L, M, and S suffixes in the model code (e. HT-55L, HT-55M, HT-55S) denote the weight-removal level — L for lighter blending, M for mid-range texturising, and S for heavier reduction passes.
