Description
A cutting shear in Japanese 440C steel at the mid-range tier of the Alfa Italia Sessione collection, available in 5.5-inch, 6.5-inch, Evoluzione, and Soft Cut variants.
Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia Sessione Nero occupies the premium tier, priced between the Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa and the Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione. Manufactured in .
The Alfa Italia Sessione Nero is the mid-tier model in the Sessione collection, priced at £360. It is built in Japanese 440C steel with an offset handle and convex edge, and comes in three fixed configurations: 5.5-inch, 6.5-inch, an Evoluzione variant, and a Soft Cut variant. The 5.5 and 6.5 sizes differ in blade length — suited to close-range precision work and longer cutting strokes respectively — while sharing the same steel and handle geometry.
The Soft Cut variant is a thinning and blending shear rather than a standard cutting scissor, so it serves a different purpose within the same Nero tier. The Evoluzione is a standard cutting shear with the same general specification.
Within the Sessione line the Nero sits between the Rosa entry model (£180) and the Platino top tier (£600, with a 5.5-inch and an Evoluzione variant). For current retailer links and the complete Sessione range, see the Alfa Italia brand page.
