Where this sits
In Hepike's cutting scissors lineup the Hepike Semi Offset AB Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range band.
The Hepike Semi Offset AB uses the same Hitachi 440 steel as the Regular AA but fits a semi-offset handle. The thumb ring drops lower than the finger ring. It sits between a classic handle and a fully offset or crane-handle scissor.
Hitachi 440 steel at 59.5 HRC takes and holds a convex edge well at this price point. The removable finger rest gives the option to work without a rest for those who anchor differently.
The AB covers 5.0” to 7.0”, making it a practical series for salon use where different stylists may reach for different lengths. For pricing and availability, visit Direct Hairdressing Scissors or the Hepike brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
The semi-offset handle sets the thumb ring lower than the finger ring. That makes the AB a next step if you want to try an offset after a classic handle. Five lengths run from 5.0 to 7.0 inches.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
