Where this sits
In Exclusive Shears's cutting scissors lineup the Exclusive Shears DMS-57 occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the Exclusive Shears DYM-50 and the Exclusive Shears Black Fox 60. It uses VG-1, a Standard Japanese stainless from Japan with a working hardness of 58–60 HRC.
The DMS-57 is an offset cutting shear from Exclusive Shears, a Melbourne-based Australian brand. Blades are ground from Japanese VG-1 steel, a molybdenum-bearing stainless alloy that retains a strong convex edge.
The ergonomic offset handle fits comfortably into the hand, and the flat tension nut makes in-session tension adjustment quick. Available in 6.0” and 6.5” lengths.
For current pricing and availability, see the Exclusive Shears brand page.
