Korean manufacture, 440C stainless steel, and a convex offset layout put the AN in everyday salon territory. The choice between 5.5 and 6.0 inch versions comes down to how much blade you like in front of the pivot.
Maintenance Tips

- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
