The Best Sonnet Scissors

The Sonnet range

Sonnet is a South Korean scissor brand sold through Shear Story alongside Toginon, Naruto, and Hanabi. The catalogued range covers three models — RCD-326, JOY-326, and ATL — at guide prices of $275 to $295.

3 Sonnet picks from $275 to $295

1. Sonnet RCD-326 Cutting Scissors (guide price around $275). The Sonnet RCD-326 is a convex-blade cutting scissor with an offset handle, produced in South Korea. Offset handles lower the thumb relative to the finger ring, a geometry many stylists find reduces forearm tension across a working day.

2. Sonnet JOY-326 Cutting Scissors (guide price around $295). The Sonnet JOY-326 is a convex-blade cutting scissor with an offset handle, made in South Korea. The offset geometry drops the thumb ring below the finger ring, reducing wrist rotation during cutting passes and easing the strain of a full salon day.

3. Sonnet ATL Cutting Scissors. The Sonnet ATL is an offset-handle cutting scissor with a convex blade, made in South Korea. It is part of the Sonnet ATL series and follows the same design approach as other models in the Sonnet range — offset geometry to ease wrist load combined with a convex edge for clean cutting performance.
