Product Range
Shihan’s catalog covers cutting scissors and thinning scissors with specialties that include blunt cutting, detailed trimming, shaping, texturizing, blending, and combined cut and thinning work. Their shears are available through the official Shihan Shears website and through Scissors HQ.
The connection to Saki Shears as a parent company is worth knowing. Saki is an established name in the professional shear market, so Shihan likely benefits from shared supply chain and manufacturing relationships, though the specifics of that arrangement are not publicly detailed.
