Professional Opinion
The crane handle drops the thumb side further than a standard offset, and left-handed stylists can have that geometry here in four lengths out to 7.0 inches. The convex stainless blade covers general cutting, and the longest option takes wider sections per pass.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Hikari convex edges
- Hikari recommends authorized service only
