Description
The Axis SEV is a Japan-made cutting shear in 440C stainless steel with a straight blade and offset handle, available in 5.5-inch and 6.0-inch lengths.
Where this sits
In Axis's cutting scissors lineup the Axis SEV occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Axis KOV Cobalt 7.0" and the Axis CONY Cobalt. Manufactured in Japan.
The Axis SEV is a cutting shear made in Japan by Axis Scissors, based in Ota City, Tokyo. It is available in two lengths — 5.5 inches (160 mm) and 6.0 inches (169 mm) — and uses 440C stainless steel throughout.
The straight blade geometry suits blunt cutting, slide cutting, and standard scissors-over-comb work. The offset handle positions the thumb below the finger ring, reducing wrist elevation during extended cutting sessions. A companion SEV thinning scissors with 10% and 25% cut-rate options is available separately in the Axis range.
For current pricing and retailer availability, see the Axis brand page on ScissorPedia.
