Some Debut models are forged in Japanese 440C, others in Japanese V-10 stainless, so the steel is how you pick a shear from the South Korean brand, which has built professional cutting scissors this way for around 20 years. Guide prices for the three models sit between US$200 and US$275, in 5.5 and 6.0 inch lengths, sold through Scissor Mall, Dynamic Sharpening, and EdgeMaster.
Overview
Debut is a South Korea professional hair shear line carried by Scissor Mall (Shear Technology), the authoritative retail source for the brand. Scissor Mall says some Debut models are forged in Korea and others are cast in Taiwan, in Japanese 440C or Japanese V-10 stainless steel. The line has been in production for roughly 20 years.
Steel and pricing
The catalog spans two steels rather than one. Some Debut models are specified in Japanese 440C and others in Japanese V-10, so the exact alloy depends on the individual model. For the metallurgy behind these grades, see our Japanese 440C guide. Observed retail pricing runs from about US$199 to US$335, which places Debut in the mid-range professional tier; the price for a given pair tracks its steel and configuration.
