Where this sits
In First Edges's cutting scissors lineup the First Edge 65 Professional Cutting Scissors occupies the budget tier, priced above the First Edge 58 Apprentice Cutting Scissors.
The First Edge 65 extends the range to 6.5” — the longest option in the First Edge line. A 6.5” scissor covers more hair per cut than shorter blades, which suits bulk work, one-length cuts on long hair, and stylists who have settled on a longer blade as their primary tool. It applies the same 440B steel, matte satin finish, and offset handle as the 53 and 58.
The bevel edge is appropriate at this price tier. 440B steel with a bevel grind holds its edge acceptably through regular salon use and keeps the entry point lower than a convex-ground scissor in harder steel would.

Professional Opinion
If a longer blade is already your preference, the 6.5-inch First Edge brings bulk cutting and sectioning within an entry-level budget. The 440B bevel-edge build matches the rest of the range, so upgrading length does not mean relearning the feel.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
