Where this sits
In Infinity's cutting scissors lineup the Infinity Academy Cutting occupies the budget tier, priced below the Infinity Cutlass Cutting.
The Infinity Academy Cutting is the entry-level model in the Infinity scissor range, priced at £40 and sold through Scissors Craft. It is available in two blade lengths — 5.5 inches and 6 inches — both with an offset handle and stainless steel construction. The offset thumb position reduces the degree of wrist rotation needed for each cutting stroke, which matters during back-to-back clients.
At £40, the Academy sits at the accessible end of the Infinity catalogue. It is a working tool for daily salon cutting: point cutting, blunt cutting, and scissor-over-comb work where the blade length matches the technique.
The Academy Thinning pairs with this model at the same £40 price point. For the full Infinity range and retailer details, see the Infinity brand page on ScissorPedia.
