Where this sits
In HIVE SCISSORS's thinning scissors lineup the HIVE JTA303 Thinning Scissors occupies the mid-range band. Manufactured in South Korea.
The HIVE JTA303 is a cobalt alloy thinning shear in the JTA range. The 303 in the model code is interpreted as 30 teeth, 3rd variant — confirm the exact tooth count with HIVE Scissors before purchasing, as model codes can encode information differently across manufacturers. Cobalt alloy steel improves edge durability compared to standard stainless on thinning teeth, where the partial-contact cutting action generates localised wear.
A 30-tooth count provides moderate removal per pass, suitable for general blending and weight reduction on medium to thick hair textures. Offset handle follows HIVE’s standard ergonomic configuration.
