Machine tools stand in for the grinding bench at SHARP LINE. The Kawagoe, Saitama brand, founded in 1989, builds its scissors in Seki, Gifu with 3D CNC diamond machining and CAD/CAM design, and hardens blades in a ceramic vacuum furnace with nitrogen injection. The four cutters carry $600 to $900 guide prices and 5.5 to 6.5 inch lengths. Named series include CYBORG, QUANTUM, STELLAS, SLICE, and MULTISHEAR.
Overview
SHARP LINE is a professional scissor brand headquartered in Kawagoe, Saitama, with manufacturing in Seki, Gifu Prefecture, a city with over 600 years of history in sword and cutlery production. SHARP LINE takes a technology driven approach, using 3D CNC diamond machining and CAD/CAM design rather than traditional hand grinding. According to the brand, its manufacturing partners hold more than 100 international patents.
The brand uses a ceramic vacuum furnace with nitrogen injection for hardening and tempering. According to SHARP LINE, the highest quality alloys require up to 9 hours to complete the hardening cycle. This process is intended to maximize secondary carbides for edge strength while reducing brittleness.
Product Range
SHARP LINE produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The brand covers precision point cutting, slide cutting, barbering, thinning (35% and 40%), and texture control. The product line includes several distinct series:
- CYBORG: The flagship line featuring custom fitted, sculptured ergonomic handles with MicroSlit laser cut blades. Rockwell hardness 61 to 63.
- QUANTUM: Uses TVM NanoCarbide powder alloy blades in a two piece welded construction. Rockwell hardness 64 to 66.
- STELLAS: Made from a cobalt based stellite alloy that the brand says never rusts and can hold an edge for up to 20 years without sharpening.
- SLICE: Built with Takefu VG10 cobalt molybdenum steel and sub-zero tempering. Rockwell hardness 59 to 61.
- MULTISHEAR: An interchangeable blade and handle system with MicroSlit laser sharpening.
The thinning range uses Combthru patented technology, which according to the brand allows smooth hair extraction without cuticle damage. Most thinners feature a flip over design with 360 degree alignment faces.
Distribution
SHARP LINE products are available through Scissor City (New Zealand) and Scissor World (Australia). The brand also runs an ambassador and education program focused on cutting techniques and ergonomics.
