3 Precious picks from Seki City in V10 steel

  1. 1Precious

    Precious V10 Professional Cutting Scissors

    • V10
    • Offset handle
    • Convex blade

    The Precious V10 cutting scissor is built from V10 steel — the brand’s own published designation for their premium-grade material — with an offset handle and convex blade. V10 is used across both the cutting and thinning lines, giving the range a consistent edge-holding profile.

    Precious V10 Thinning Scissors

    • V10
    • Offset handle
    • Thinning teeth blade

    The Precious V10 thinning scissor is built in the same V10 steel as the brand’s cutting line, with a thinning blade rated at up to 20% removal per pass. That relatively low cut rate keeps it in fine-blending territory — suitable for softening weight lines, adding movement to dense hair, or finishing rather than bulk removal.
