CNC

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. The brand argues that only CNC machined scissors can be considered truly premium because softer steels can be shaped by conventional methods. Whether that claim holds up depends on the specific steel grade and hardness rating, which the brand does not publicly specify.

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 sells directly through its official website at cncscissors.com. The brand’s online store is its primary sales channel. For stylists interested in trying the product, the main question will be whether the brand offers any trial or return policy, since hard steel shears can feel quite different from what many stylists are used to.
