Professional Opinion
South Korean-made in 440C stainless steel with a convex edge and an offset handle, the Elite AL comes in the two most common salon lengths, 5.5 and 6.0 inches. It is a sensible everyday cutter for professional hairdressing and barbering work, with the offset grip keeping the hand relaxed across back-to-back appointments.
