Overview
KT is a Japan-based line of professional hair shears reaching the US market through SCISSOR Dude, a Pennsylvania specialty retailer that runs one of the deepest professional cutting and thinning catalogues in the country.
Range and pricing
The catalogue spans cutting shears across the common 5.0” to 7.0” blade lengths, dedicated thinners, and a left-handed option, covering the sizes most barbers and stylists reach for day to day. Pricing runs roughly $200 to $400, which is typical for professional cutting shears at this level.
For current model specifications, handle options, and stock, the authoritative source is the KT listings on the SCISSOR Dude storefront.
Catalogue and positioning
The KT catalogue at SCISSOR Dude covers cutting shears from 5.0” to 7.0”, dedicated thinning shears, and a left-handed option. That range covers the full breadth of what professional stylists and barbers require for daily work: the shorter 5.0”–5.5” lengths that suit detail, texture, and face-framing techniques; the 6.0”–6.5” sizes used for general cutting on most hair types; and the 7.0” length preferred in barbershop settings for clipper-over-comb and bulk removal. The inclusion of a left-handed model — which many brands omit at this price tier — extends the line’s reach to left-handed professionals.
Market positioning
KT pricing at $200–$400 USD places the line in the professional mid-range — above entry-level tools but well below flagship territory. The parent company, Scissor Warrior, brings manufacturing knowledge from the Japanese professional scissor industry into a range aimed at working professionals who want an upgrade from basic tools without committing to a premium price point.
