Where this sits
In HASAMI's cutting scissors lineup the HASAMI SWIVL occupies the mid-range band, priced between the HASAMI Kata 5.75" and the HASAMI Fit. It uses VG-10.
The SWIVL is HASAMI’s swivel-handle cutting shear. The rotating thumb ring allows the thumb to remain in a neutral, downward-pointing position throughout the cutting stroke, removing the rotational demand that fixed handles place on the thumb joint.
Blades are ground from VG-10 steel, which HASAMI describes as providing incomparable softness through the cut. The SWIVL is available in multiple sizes, with both right-handed and left-handed versions, as well as thinning variants.
For current pricing and availability, see the HASAMI brand page.

Professional Opinion
A rotating thumb ring lets the thumb stay neutral through the whole stroke, removing the twist that fixed handles ask of the joint. For stylists feeling thumb or wrist discomfort, the SWIVL addresses that directly, in five lengths, with left-handed versions.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point and swivel mechanism regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in a protective case
