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 the brand’s cobalt-grade option, listed 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 takes a different construction route. All catalogued TITAN models list the 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 ladder reads simply: 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 list the UK as country of manufacture. TITAN positions the range as a budget professional option, noting 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, and at 6.5 inch the longest length in the catalogue. 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). The core VG-10 Cobalt cutter in the standard 6.0 inch length. VG-10 is TITAN’s cobalt-grade steel, the step up from base stainless, and it suits everyday professional cutting in the most common working length.
3. Titan TA60 Reversible VG-10 Cobalt Hair Scissors (around $76). The same VG-10 steel with a hand-forged, hand-sharpened construction, suited to blunt cut, point cut, and precision cutting. At $76 it is the mid-range VG-10 option for stylists who want more from the build process than the entry VG-10 pair gives.
4. Titan K360 ATS-314 Hair Cutting Scissors (around $89). A Hitachi ATS-314 cutting scissor with a polished finish at 6.0 inch. TITAN describes ATS-314 as the top named steel grade in the standard range, a cobalt-alloyed steel from Hitachi Metals, so the K360 sits at the upper end of the cutting catalogue.
5. Titan Damascus Hair Scissors (around $114). The top of the price range: a Damascus steel cutting scissor at 6.0 inch, and the most expensive single model in the TITAN catalogue. For stylists who want the Damascus construction at a budget-accessible price point, this is the pick.
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.
