Where this sits
In EKS's cutting scissors lineup the EKS Classic Satin occupies the budget band, priced above the EKS Chiroform. Manufactured in Germany.
The Classic Satin extends EKS’s entry range into longer lengths — the size run goes from 4.5” to 7.0”, which includes the 6.5” and 7.0” lengths suited to scissor-over-comb and barbering work. Construction follows the same pattern as the Chiroform: German Solingen stainless steel, classic even handle, one micro-serrated and one convex blade.
The satin finish reduces surface reflectivity compared to a polished blade and is standard across EKS’s core salon range. An adjustable tension screw allows the cutting action to be dialled to the individual stylist’s preference.
The absence of a 6.0” in this size run is noted — the Chiroform covers that length if a 6.0” with classic handle is needed.

Professional Opinion
A size run reaching 6.5 and 7.0 inches stretches the even-handle, Solingen steel formula into scissor-over-comb and barbering territory. Note there is no 6.0 inch option in this range, so check your preferred length before committing.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
