Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia MT Rosa Precisione occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the Alfa Italia MT Mancino Precisione Left-Hand.
The Alfa Italia MT Rosa Precisione is a 5-inch cutting shear from the MT Precisione collection, ground in Japanese 440C steel with a convex edge. It ships in two handle configurations: an ergonomic offset version that positions the thumb lower than the fingers, reducing wrist deviation across long cutting sessions, and a classic symmetric handle for stylists who work with a more upright grip. Both share the same blade length and steel specification at £180 retail.
At 5 inches, the MT Rosa suits precision-focused work — scissor-over-comb graduation, point cutting, and fringe detail where blade control takes precedence over cutting stroke length. The 440C alloy holds a fine convex edge through sustained daily use and resharpens predictably when needed.
The MT Precisione line sits across three steel tiers: Rosa at the entry level, Nero in the mid-range, and Platino at the top. All three are sold direct through alfaitaliapro.com. See the Alfa Italia brand page for the full range.
Features
