Where this sits
Manufactured in Japan.
The Corta AKR is a dry-cut collaboration model produced in Osaka. The blade geometry is shaped for work on dry hair, where the cutting arc and edge angle differ from a wet-cut shear — the convex grind is tuned to minimise drag and deliver clean separation without moisture to aid glide.
The AKR is made under Corta’s standard Osaka craftsman process. Steel specification is available through Corta Scissors directly. For collaboration background and current pricing, contact Corta or visit the Corta brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
Dry cutting asks different things of a blade, and the AKR's convex geometry is shaped for exactly that. Worth a look if most of your cutting happens on dry hair and you want a Japanese-made tool built around the technique rather than adapted to it.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
