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, Tru-Blu’s contact form process lets the company confirm spelling and help 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 through their website.
Distribution
Tru-Blu scissors are available through Spencer Scissors (a UK based retailer) and through the brand’s own site at trubluscissors.com.au. The brand encourages trying scissors in person before purchasing, which is practical for Australian based stylists but less so for international buyers. American stylists interested in the brand would need to order online and rely on the brand’s return policy if the fit is not right.
