Professional Opinion

Made to partner the Offset cutting scissor, sharing the same handle geometry so the pair feels consistent in hand. V-teeth at 6.0 inches handle general thinning and blending, taking out roughly a quarter to a third of the hair per pass, and the 440C blade at 58 to 60 HRC holds its edge well.

Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe blades after each client
  • Oil pivot daily
  • Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges

Frequently Asked Questions

How much hair do V-teeth remove per cut?

V-teeth typically remove around 25-35% of hair per pass, making them suitable for general thinning and blending work. For lighter removal, consider the Texture Master in H-tooth configuration.
