Description
HANABI FORTE cutting scissors in VG-10 Cobalt steel with offset handle and convex blade. Part of the HANABI mid-range manufactured in South Korea.
Where this sits
In HANABI's cutting scissors lineup the HANABI FORTE Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range tier. Manufactured in South Korea.
The HANABI FORTE is a VG-10 Cobalt steel cutting shear with an offset handle and convex blade. VG-10 Cobalt is sourced from Takefu Special Steel and ground to a convex cross-section, which allows the edge to push through the hair rather than dragging — a notable factor for high-volume cutting schedules.
The FORTE name denotes its place in the upper tier of HANABI’s standard cutting range. Offset handle geometry positions the ring finger below the thumb to reduce lateral wrist deviation through the cut stroke.
