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. Their listed specialties include all purpose cutting, straight cutting, and thinning at various rates. The brand sits in a mid range price tier (price range 3).
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.

CNC Scissors sells directly through its official website at cncscissors.com. The brand’s online store is its primary sales channel.
