Where this sits
In HIVE SCISSORS's thinning scissors lineup the HIVE JTA1010Y Thinning Scissors occupies the mid-range band. Manufactured in South Korea.
The HIVE JTA1010Y is an ultra-light thinning shear with a low tooth count. The 1010 in the model code is interpreted as 10 teeth; the Y suffix identifies this variant within the JTA thinning range — confirm the exact tooth count with HIVE Scissors directly. At 10 teeth, each pass removes a very small proportion of the section, making this tool appropriate for final blending passes on fine hair, softening hard lines, or making incremental adjustments where over-thinning is a concern.
Cobalt alloy steel maintains edge durability on the limited tooth contact surface. Offset handle follows the HIVE standard configuration. Made in Seoul, South Korea.

Professional Opinion
Ten teeth means this thinner removes very little per pass, which is exactly what fine or fragile hair asks for. Cobalt alloy construction keeps it light in the hand, and it suits finishing passes where you soften a line in small increments rather than take out bulk.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
