Where this sits
In Hepike's thinning scissors lineup the Hepike 40-Tooth Thinning Scissors occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Hepike 30-Tooth Thinning Scissors and the Hepike Double Bladed Thinning Scissors.
The Hepike 40-Tooth Thinning Scissors offer a finer blending result than the 30-tooth model in the same range. More teeth per blade means less hair removed per close — useful for softening a blunt line, working through finer hair types, or finishing after an initial pass with the 30-tooth. The offset handle maintains the same ergonomic position across both thinning models.
Hitachi 440 steel at 59.5 HRC is consistent with the rest of the Hepike line. The higher tooth count does not change the steel requirements, and the blade resharpens to the same standard.

Professional Opinion
With 40 teeth, each close removes less hair, which is exactly the point. Use it to soften blunt lines, blend finer hair types, or finish after a pass with the 30-tooth model. Same Hitachi 440 steel and offset handle as the rest of the range.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
