Professional Opinion
Slide cutting asks a lot of an edge, and the recommended uses aim this squarely at experienced stylists doing advanced texturizing and soft, invisible layering. At 6.1 inches with an offset handle, it is a specialist tool rather than a first scissor.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use a professional sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
