Every CNC blade is shaped by Computer Numerical Control machining, the manufacturing method the brand is named for, and the USA company says its steel is too hard to shape any other way. Product listings name VG10, 440C, and 9CR13 steels across cutting, thinning, and left-handed shears. The two models, both 6.0 inch, carry guide prices of US$200 and US$250.
Overview
CNC is a USA based scissor brand that takes its name from the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining process used to shape its blades. The brand claims that its steel is hard enough that traditional manufacturing methods cannot shape it, making CNC machining a necessity rather than a choice.
Product Range
CNC offers cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors for all-purpose cutting, straight cutting, and several thinning rates. Prices sit in the professional mid-range.
Manufacturing Approach
According to CNC Scissors, they use an ultra hard steel that reaches the maximum hardness achievable in scissor steel. CNC says its steel is hard enough that CNC machining is needed to shape the blades. CNC’s product listings name the steels used, including VG10, 440C, and 9CR13.
CNC also offers personalized engraving, allowing stylists to add patterns, designs, or their name to the scissors. This is a feature that several other brands in the mid to premium tier also provide.
Distribution
CNC Scissors has sold directly through its official website. The brand’s current retail channels are the source for model availability as of July 2026.
