Description
Hepike Semi Offset AB cutting scissors in Hitachi 440 steel with semi-offset handle and convex blade. Available in 5.0" through 7.0".
Where this sits
In Hepike's cutting scissors lineup the Hepike Semi Offset AB Cutting Scissors occupies the entry-level tier, priced above the Hepike Regular AA Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in .
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, which lowers the elbow and reduces strain through the shoulder and wrist during sustained cutting. It is a common step up for stylists who have identified tension in a classic handle but are not yet cutting with 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.
