Where this sits
In Exclusive Shears's cutting scissors lineup the Exclusive Shears DYM-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 Takefu stainless blade steel stainless from Japan.
The DYM-57 is an offset cutting shear from Exclusive Shears, a Melbourne-based Australian brand. Blades are ground from VG-1 steel, a molybdenum-bearing stainless alloy that maintains its edge through regular cutting sessions.
The flat tension nut gives quick tension adjustment, and the offset handle positions the thumb below the fingers, reducing forearm rotation during the cutting stroke. Available in 5.7” and 6.5” lengths to suit different hand sizes and techniques.
