Frequently Asked Questions
What is Friodur ice-hardening?
Friodur is Jaguar's proprietary heat-treatment process where blades are deep-frozen during hardening. The sub-zero step compresses the steel structure for better durability and impact resistance, trading some of the absolute hardness of a Japanese cobalt alloy for tougher real-world performance in a training environment.
Why does the Jay 2 have micro-serration on one side?
Single-sided micro-serration grips hair firmly during the cut, preventing it from slipping forward during blunt bobs or wet-hair work. It is the right choice for students learning clean perimeters but a poor choice for slide cutting, where a smooth convex edge is preferred.
Is the Model 2.1 'Devil' different from the standard Jay 2?
The 2.1 'Devil' is the same steel and geometry but specifically marketed for high-volume training use. Jaguar produces over 3,000 scissors daily, and the 2.1 is positioned as the durable workhorse option within the Jay 2 line.
