Professional Opinion
Few shears cover this much ground. Six lengths from 5.0 to 7.5 mean there is a Talon for everything from tight detail work to long scissor-over-comb passes. Wet-to-dry versatility makes it a dependable single-shear answer for busy professionals.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
