Professional Opinion
Damascus blades on the crane-style Arc Ergo Offset handle give the HMD its character, finished in a mirror polish. The size run reaches 7.0 inches, so barbers and scissor-over-comb specialists get the longer lengths they tend to reach for.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
