Where this sits
In DH's thinning scissors lineup the DH Opposing Ergo Grip SW40S Thinning Scissors occupies the entry-level tier.
The DH Opposing Ergo Grip SW40S is a 5.5-inch thinning shear with an ergo opposing handle and skull motif finish. The opposing grip keeps thumb and ring finger in a more neutral alignment compared to a standard offset, which some stylists find reduces wrist torque during repeated thinning strokes. The SW40S model code suggests a 40-tooth thinning blade — confirm the exact tooth count with Scissor City NZ before purchase.
At 5.5 inches with a higher tooth count, this shear is suited to blending and softening rather than bulk removal. Available through Scissor City NZ; see the DH brand page on ScissorPedia for the full range.
Features
- Opposing/ergo-grip handle
