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, 5.5 to 6.0 inches, all carry a US$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 is designed and individually handcrafted in its workshop. The range focuses on cutting scissors for techniques including blunt cutting, slide cutting, dry cutting, and scissor-over-comb.
Product Range
Tru-Blu’s cutting range supports blunt cutting, slide cutting, serrated-edge work, dry cutting, chipping, slicing, detail cutting, and scissor-over-comb. Prices sit in the professional mid-range.
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.
