Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The Axis KOV Cobalt is a 7.0-inch cutting shear made in Japan by Axis Scissors, based in Ota City, Tokyo. The longer blade suits scissor-over-comb barbering techniques, wide-section work, and cutting through longer hair in fewer passes.
The Cobalt V10 steel provides good edge retention. The offset handle reduces wrist rotation during extended cutting sessions.
For current pricing and retailer availability, see the Axis brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
At 7.0 inches in Cobalt V10, the KOV gives barbers the blade length for scissor-over-comb work and longer-hair slide cutting. The offset handle keeps that reach comfortable. One for the barbering end of the kit rather than fine detail work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
