Where this sits
In Axis's cutting scissors lineup the Axis CONY Cobalt occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Axis SEV and the Axis CONY Cobalt Sword Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Axis CONY Cobalt Sword is a cutting shear made in Japan by Axis Scissors, based in Ota City, Tokyo. The sword-profile blade narrows toward the tip, improving visibility of the cutting line and control on precise detail work.
Cobalt V10 steel offers edge retention suited to extended professional use. The offset handle positions the thumb below the finger ring, reducing shoulder and wrist elevation during cutting strokes. A paired thinning scissors — the CONY Cobalt Thinning — and a cobalt cutting-and-thinning set are also available in the CONY range.

Professional Opinion
Blunt cut and slide cut techniques are the stated brief, and the sword-profile Cobalt V10 blade with a convex edge is shaped for exactly that. The offset handle keeps wrist posture easy. A focused tool for stylists who lean on those two techniques daily.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
