The Best TITAN Scissors for Hairdressers
TITAN is a UK scissor brand distributed by Emboss Products International, a family-run business in Birmingham that references 1918 heritage. The range runs three named steels — 440C, VG-10 Cobalt, and ATS-314 — plus a Damascus option at the top, all within a tight 6.0 to 6.5 inch size window and priced from $51 to $114. Five picks here cover each tier across that range.
What are the best TITAN scissors?
The 6.5 Inch Hair Scissors, around $51, is TITAN's entry point — a Stainless Steel pair in 6.5 inch for stylists looking for a budget starting pair. The 6 Inch VG10 Cobalt, around $64, moves up to TITAN's cobalt-alloyed VG-10 steel in the core 6.0 inch length. The TA60, around $76, uses the same VG-10 steel but with a hand-forged and hand-sharpened construction suited to blunt and point cutting. The K360, around $89, steps to Hitachi ATS-314, the top named steel in the TITAN range, with a polished finish. The Damascus, around $114, is TITAN's premium option — a Damascus steel cutting scissor at the top of the range.
TITAN names three primary steels across its cutting range. 440C is a widely-used stainless grade found in the Gold 440C and several entry models. VG-10 Cobalt is TITAN’s cobalt-grade option — the brand’s documentation lists VG-10 as the step-up from base stainless. Hitachi ATS-314 is described by TITAN as the top steel grade in the range, used in the K360 and the 6.25 inch ATS-314 model. The Damascus at the top of the range takes a different construction route. All catalogued TITAN models are listed with UK as country of manufacture. Guide prices run $51 to $114 across the 24 catalogued models; the whole range stays within the budget professional tier.

The TITAN steel range
TITAN is distributed by Emboss Products International, a Birmingham family business that trades the line as Titan 1918. The range covers three named steels — 440C, VG-10 Cobalt, and Hitachi ATS-314 — with a Damascus model at the top and a base Stainless Steel entry pair. All catalogued models sit within 6.0 to 6.5 inches, and guide prices run $51 to $114 across the 24-model catalogue.
The practical structure of the steel range: base Stainless Steel and 440C at entry; VG-10 Cobalt as the cobalt step-up; Hitachi ATS-314 as the named top grade in the standard range; and Damascus at the top. All catalogued TITAN models are listed with UK as country of manufacture. TITAN positions the range as a budget professional option — the brand notes that for the cost of a single mid-range Japanese scissor, a stylist can buy several TITAN models for different techniques.
The five picks
1. Titan 6.5 Inch Hair Scissors (guide price around $51). TITAN’s entry cutting scissor in Stainless Steel, the 6.5 inch is the longest length in the TITAN catalogue and the lowest entry price. A straightforward blunt and slide cutting pair for stylists who want a dedicated long-blade tool at an accessible starting price. Available through Titan 1918.
2. Titan 6 Inch VG10 Cobalt Hair Scissors (around $64). TITAN’s core VG-10 Cobalt cutting scissor in the standard 6.0 inch length. VG-10 is TITAN’s cobalt-grade steel — a step up from base stainless in the range. Suited to everyday professional cutting in the most common working length. Available through Titan 1918.
3. Titan TA60 Reversible VG-10 Cobalt Hair Scissors (around $76). TITAN’s VG-10 Cobalt scissor with a hand-forged and hand-sharpened construction, suited to blunt cut, point cut, and precision cutting. At $76 this is the mid-range VG-10 option for stylists who want more from the construction process than the entry VG-10 pair. Available through Titan 1918.
4. Titan K360 ATS-314 Hair Cutting Scissors (around $89). TITAN’s Hitachi ATS-314 cutting scissor with a polished finish. TITAN describes ATS-314 as the top named steel grade in the standard range — a cobalt-alloyed steel from Hitachi Metals. The K360 is a 6.0 inch model at the upper end of the TITAN cutting range. Available through Titan 1918.
5. Titan Damascus Hair Scissors (around $114). TITAN’s Damascus steel cutting scissor at the top of the price range. At $114 the Damascus is the most expensive single model in the TITAN catalogue. A 6.0 inch pair for stylists who want the Damascus construction at a budget-accessible price point. Available through Titan 1918.
How we chose
Each pick represents a distinct steel tier in the TITAN range. The 6.5 Inch covers the Stainless Steel entry; the VG10 Cobalt gives the core cobalt option at 6.0 inch; the TA60 adds a hand-forged construction at the same VG-10 grade; the K360 steps to ATS-314; and the Damascus takes the range to its top price point. Guide prices move; confirm current figures before buying.
The wider TITAN catalogue
The TITAN brand page covers the full 24-model catalogue, including thinning scissors in VG-10 and ATS-314 grades, offset thinning models, a 3-step offset thinning scissor, and dedicated left-handed VG-10 scissors. The ATS-314 thinning pair (around $89) is the top-steel thinning option in the range.
