Your name can outlast the sharpening wheel on a Tru-Blu: the Australian maker, handcrafting cutting scissors in Morwell, Victoria, will engrave a stylist’s name where resharpening cannot erase it, and serial-numbers every pair inside the handle. The three cutters catalogued here, 5.5 to 6.0 inches, all carry a $350 guide price, built from Hitachi 440C blades on Hitachi 304 stainless handles.
Overview
Tru-Blu is an Australian scissor brand based in Morwell, Victoria. According to the brand, every pair of Tru-Blu scissors is designed and individually handcrafted in their fully equipped workshop. The brand focuses exclusively on cutting scissors, which makes it one of the more specialized producers in ScissorPedia’s database.
Product Range
Tru-Blu’s specialties include blunt cutting, slide cutting, serrated edge work, dry cutting, chipping, slicing, detail cutting, and scissor over comb. Despite offering only cutting scissors (no thinning shears), the specialty list covers a solid range of techniques. The brand sits in a mid range price tier (price range 3).
Handcrafted Approach
According to Tru-Blu, each scissor is individually crafted and assigned its own serial number, engraved on the inside of the handle. The brand also offers name engraving on the back of the scissor in a location that will not be removed during sharpening. For stylists who want a custom element, the brand confirms spelling and helps match the right model to the stylist’s needs.
If the standard range does not fit, Tru-Blu states that they accept custom scissor inquiries.
Distribution
Tru-Blu scissors are available through Spencer Scissors, a UK based retailer. The brand’s own online store is no longer available: as of July 2026 the address serves an unrelated website. The brand encourages trying scissors in person before purchasing, which is practical for Australian based stylists but less so for international buyers.
