Where this sits
Manufactured in South Korea.
The HANABI G8L is a true left-handed cutting shear — blade orientation and handle geometry are mirrored for left-hand use, not simply relabelled. The offset handle is configured so that left-handed stylists achieve the same wrist-neutral cutting posture as a right-handed offset shear provides for right-handed use.
VG-10 Cobalt steel and convex blade geometry match the specification of the right-handed HANABI cutting range. The G8L designation identifies it as the dedicated left-handed model within the catalogue.

Professional Opinion
A genuinely mirrored build rather than a relabelled right-hander, the G8L gives left-handed stylists the same VG-10 cobalt blade and offset ergonomics as the rest of the HANABI cutting line. That means proper blade alignment and a wrist-neutral posture in the left hand.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
