Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione occupies the luxury tier, priced above the Alfa Italia Sessione Nero.
The Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione is the top-tier model in the MT Precisione line, retailing at £600. Alfa Italia publishes a hardness specification of 60–61 HRC for this scissor — toward the upper end of the range typically used for hairdressing shears, where steel at this hardness maintains a fine edge through sustained daily cutting but calls for a careful hand on the sharpening wheel when the time comes.
Both offset and classic handle versions are available. The offset positions the thumb lower than the fingers to reduce wrist rotation across long sessions. The classic gives a more symmetric grip geometry for stylists who work with a straighter wrist angle.
Within the MT Precisione collection, the Platino sits above the Nero (£360) and Rosa (£180), all three built on the same 5-inch, Japanese 440C convex-edge platform. See the Alfa Italia brand page for the full range and direct purchase links.
